Boxes doesn't offer an UI for that, but we share the same
virtualization backend of virt-manager. Therefore you can open
virt-manager and see your Boxes VMs there. By going to the VM details
and "Boot Options" you can setup what you need.

Let us know if you managed to workaround your issue.

Felipe.
