Just in case someone else stumbles across this problem as well... I had a bad boot CD.  When I tried using PXE boot the problem went away in so far as the "device model failure" message did not appear and PXE attempted configuration.  I tried a different CD and all was well.

It would be nice if the error message was more along the lines of "Could not find bootable media" or something of the sort.  Maybe I will post something to the qemu dev list.

Regards,
Frans
