Hey folks,
Yesterday night, I did a patch to allow you booting pxe inside a Qemu VM 
(This patch also works for virtuabox).

So on a single host without having dhcp+tftp installed, you can do a pxe 
boot inside your VM ;)
You just have to define a tftpboot dir in your home dir, put a 
pxelinux.0 inside and its configuration and "voila" ;)

I sent the patch to the qemu devel list, I hope this kind of patch will 
be integrated one day ;)

Previous url will give you the patch and the way to use it ;)

Hope it helps some of you,
Regards,
