Seems to be some tty problem: ^t says sysinstall is sleeping in ttyin,
if i hit return it comes up, but with garbled formatting. I can even
start a shell on ttyv4 (cursor right and return for no to the load kernel
modules question, return until the (also misformatted) main menu appears,
`f' and return for fixit, `4' and return for shell, then `sendkey alt-f4'
in the monitor.) The shell misses its prompt but other than that it
seems to work, at least I can do things like `pwd', `echo *', or `find .'
So apparently some bug in qemu makes the tty code misbehave...
