Hmmmm, with grub2 that's easier to do because it's going to test the bootloader that is the first thing going to start. In our case we'd have to bootstrap a full system and then start it in qemu just to run the test. That doesn't sound feasible to me (time and disk space to run the test), but I might be wrong.
