Emulated processors can do the same things as physical processors, including booting from disk.

Boot = Bootstrap

If you've loaded up a virtual CPU first that's not a boot of mainline Linux on the CPU.

I respectfully disagree. The turning machine is not doing any set-up before the emulated CPU begins execution, and all of the actual BIOS is done by the emulated CPU.
