I noticed the official distribution already has the two tracks split into
zetaboot.img and zetacd.img, so that's less work me :)

I ran

$ qemu -cdrom zetaboot.img -hda zetacd.img -boot d

and selected the hd from the boot menu. That led to a kernel panic (PANIC:
boot device not found").

I then tried running without any hd, and instead changed the disk to
zetacd.img from the console when the prompt for the CD came up. That way I
got to the magnifying glass stage of the ZETA boot screen, but there it
panics with "PANIC: no shell!". Any ideas?

Thanks for your reply,
Ulf
