Ok, so there's only a hypothesis.
But I believe QEMU does have the functionality to load an arbitrary firmware. So the firmware doesn't necessarily have to be SeaBIOS.
As you may know the 8086 reset vector is at 1MB-16 so it will be really difficult to run a PC-like machine with less than 1MB of memory. I don't believe one has ever existed.
Don't know if its possible to make QEMU use an UEFI or OpenFirmware image instead, or if such an image exists.
Sure, but UEFI rather requires 1GB than 1MB.
