Not at all.  William Hubbs and I did this a couple of months ago, in
order to figure out why he couldn't boot from the Linux on his hard
drive.  I'm not sure which one of us came up with the idea, but I talked him
through the process of booting his physical hard drive as a VM image
under qemu running in a live CD environment.  The long and the short was
that he was able to read the boot messages, so the problem was diagnosed
and fixed in short order.
