Digging into the qemu backend seems that the bits to boot a machine (aarch4) from network is missing.

• first BOOTFROM doesnt support n options https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst/blob/master/backend/qemu.pm#L663
• PXEBOOT doesnt set the booting order at all https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst/blob/master/backend/qemu.pm#L713 https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst/blob/master/backend/qemu.pm#L892

the os-autoinst output looks like that
