One big issue that I see here is that I am not sure if there is a BIOS image that has a Open license which is also 100% PC compatible.
The VMware machines use a (presumably licensed) Phoenix Bios image.
That said I think it may now be possible to build a Bios less machine that is still x86 compatible (assuming you only want to run 'modern' Operating systems on it) isn't a good portion of the Bios now mostly redundant legacy code ?
