I disagree here.

With a physical server, Foreman does not lock my boot order down to
whatever foreman found helpful during provisioning. How would I tell a
Vm to "now please boot this rescue system from this CD image" from
Foreman?

Everything is fine for me as long as I have the freedom to change
these settings after the system was installed. Not being able to boot
the VM into a rescue system is a severe nuisance and confuses the
colleagues who are not this deep into the technical stuff.
