Yes it makes sense but ROM isn't the way to go.

I've always felt that the OS should be stored as an image of the contents of memory for a perfectly completed boot, and that image pushed into live memory exactly by the BIOS. This differs from most ROM boots in that they still go through a step-by-step load/setup/detect process to build up the contents of memory; just they do it very fast.
