Sure, but with that kind of error message it is quiet difficult to 
figure out, what's wrong. And choosing generic/generic when I know 
exactly what operating system I want to run within the guest, wouldn't 
come in my mind :-)

A chance to already select the NIC model on creating the guest would be 
great.

Ubuntu has split the PXE rom's into a separate package, kvm-pxe. Maybe 
that would be a way for Debian too. Including pxe-virtio.bin.

Cheers,
Andreas
