FYI, as of this morning, both Fedora rawhide and Fedora 17 now have QEMU using iPXE.
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-4242/
Please try them out with
yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update qemu
and check PXE boot is working sensibly for you, and that gpxe-roms-qemu gets removed automagically & replaced by ipxe-roms-qemu.

I'm made a scratch build[1] for F16 (as I don't have an F17 host yet), and about to test w/ the below cmd line:
################ virt-install --connect=qemu:///system \ --network=bridge:br0\ --pxe \ --name f16tbox \ --disk path=/export/vmimgs/f16tbox1.img,size=10 \ --ram 2048 \ --vcpus=2 \ --check-cpu \ --hvm \ --os-variant fedora16 ################ (Also, w/ my firewall turned off (iptables seems to block tftp..)
[1] http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3962520
Is this valid?

I think, I need to scratch build 'qemu-1.0-11.fc17.src.rpm' as well for F16 -- as this seems to have your changelog entry 'Switch to iPXE for netboot ROMs)
Just issued a F16 scratch build for 'qemu' too -- http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3962553

Ok, I installed the rpms, and tried to start an old F16 guest, and then tried to create a 'new' guest w/ 'pxe' option. This is what I see:

The version of libvirt you have is not expecting the new 2-digit QEMU version numbers. Update to newer libvirt too !

Gah, silly me.
Just kicked off a scratch build for libvirt too using this srm --> libvirt-0.9.10-4.fc17.src.rpm -- http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3962625
Will retest once it's built.
Thanks.
