I think it's a good idea to test all known bugs on this new qemu. This will
probably filter out some CPU-related ones.

BTW, it's still impossible to install win2k on a 1.5G disk. I will test the
following previously-known bugs tomorrow - but feel free to race with me:

1) It's impossible to install SP4 on top of win2k SP0 installed on 2G disk
2) Impossible to install Adobe Reader 6.0 on win2k SP4 installed from
sliptreamed CD on a 2G disk
3) Firefox segfaults on win2k SP0 when entering text on www.google.com and
pressing Enter
