This is possible by adding an <os> <loader> element to the libvirt XML, see: http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsOSBIOS The documentation is wrong. At least in the latest libvirt, the qemu driver supports this to set the -bios parameter. I don't know if this is possible directly in virt-manager, but another way is to create the VM in virt-manager and then (after shutting down the VM), edit it using: virsh edit NameOfGuest and add the <loader> element as outlined in the link above.
