Might want to add something around here about how to make qemu use the
new rom.

It's right here: The '-L build/' tells QEMU to look in the build/
directory for its BIOS image file (which is called bios.bin, and is a
copy of linuxbios.rom).

But yes, the documentation needs to be a bit more verbose.

Oh, whoops, my bad. I was thinking it had to be configured somewhere,
but perhaps I'm thinking of BOCHS.

Yes, there is:

However, LinuxBIOSv3 doesn't show up in trac:

Yes. Trac can only handle a single repository. To start cleanly from the
