The QEMU guest agent (qemu-ga) has features that may allow you to do this. I'm not familiar enough with it to give details, here are some alternatives: If you provide a kernel + initramfs externally (outside the guest disk image) you can add files to the initramfs. This allows you to customize boot up. Alternatively you can use PXE booting to achieve the same thing. Finally, you could edit the disk image using libguestfs or qemu-nbd before booting it for the first time. This gives you a chance to customize configuration and startup files.
