Howto change boot device order in bios with script unattended

Hi!

For complete unattended installation of a virtual machine i need to change
the boot device order in bios. PXE should be the first boot device in any
case.
I found no interface call.
I know it is stored in the VMC file as <cmos type="bytes">... entry.
But i found no way to change it. Is any documentation for this available?

Greetings
Guenter

No, this is not scriptable.
