Propose: Kimchi allow to change boot order ("fd", "hd", "cdrom" or "network") hd device can specify which disk will be booted Rest API will receive answer from /plugins/kimchi/<VM NAME>/bootorder {[{"dev": "hd"}]} or a list: {[{"dev": "hd"}, {"dev": "cdrom"}]} Doubts: How we can edit the bootloader? Like the list above or a kind of fixed list?

Libvirt provides bootmenu too, which allows users to pick a device in the beginning. Must have it?
