on amd64 - not much you can do about that other than help debugging (k)qemu's
amd64 emulation... (well or falling back to unaccellerated, possibly 32 bit
qemu/leaving out -kernel-kqemu if its that what's causing the problems.)
+- qemu's network boot roms (-boot n) have a bug when bootfiles sizes are a

+btx code (from after 7.0 was released) because of the real mode boot problem,
