As long as up above this message it says "SDL support: yes", then you'll be
fine.  Go ahead and compile.  This is an informational message and 
won't affect
your experience.

If, however, it says "SDL support: no", Qemu will run without any graphical
output.  You need to install the libsdl-devel packages for your distro.

Before doing any of this, though, I'd seriously reconsider what you're 
trying to
do.  Although emulators are definitely not my area of expertise, attempting to
flash a bios from one seems like a horribly Bad Idea(tm)...won't you
essentially be flashing a emulated bios?
