I just reproduced it with "pure" Qemu, no kqemu or kvm module.

I booted off SystemRescueCd: http://www.sysresccd.org/Download

The system was started with this command line:

/usr/bin/qemu -boot d -m 256 -cdrom 
'/usr/src/systemrescuecd-x86-1.2.0.iso' -net nic,vlan=0 -net user,vlan=0 
-localtime &


I was just tapping the keys on the keyboard during BIOS phase, 
bootloader and kernel booting.
