My latest patches should improve the OS/2 Warp behavior (with the 
install disks you can have the OS/2 prompt).

Note that the CVS version of Bochs is able to boot OS/2.

The most important issue now for OS/2 and some other OSes seems to be 
the RTC emulation (QEMU uses the host timer, so it cannot have a 
resolution bigger than 10 ms for timer interrupts on 2.4 host Linux 
kernels, and some guest OSes need a timer interrupt with a period < 10 ms).
