And one thing, which can make me happy. When I am trying virtual

often reinstall existing one. Then I need to boot from network and after
installation again from disk. I can't test new gPXE until it will work with
my F11 kernel, may be it's better with this, but with currently functional
bootrom I can't boot from disk if network boot is enabled and vice versa.
If my guest is set to boot from disk (after previous installation)
and I need to reinstall it, I have to do these steps:
- click details panel (i)
- click "Boot Options"
- click on "Boot Device" menu
- select "Network (PXE)" and confirm (click)
- click "Apply"
- click back to guest console
- click start (play button)
That's not a virt-manager issue, it's a qemu issue I assume.
It works for me though - if I have network boot selected that I can
bring up the boot menu with F12 and select the hard disk instead?
What I suspect you may be referring to is the fact that if you don't
have network boot set as the default then the F12 boot menu doesn't
include the network option - so you can't be set to boot from the hard
disk by default and then choose to boot from network instead using the
boot menu.
I too find that rather annoying, but as I say it is (I believe) a qemu
issue rather than a libvirt issue.
