Well, I applied the patches and installed qemu.
I tried installing openSUSELinux 10.3 because I had a DVD laying around.
I used a 150GB raw image created using qemu-img. I did not use kqemu.
I started qemu with this command line:
qemu -boot d -cdrom /dev/acd0 -hda linux.img -localtime -m 1G
Note I have an AMD64 X2 with 4GB of RAM installed running 8-current.
It got up to the point where it actually started the install and then
croaked with SIGSEGV, I think it was. The error message flashed by
rather quickly.
That means that I was able to partition the disks and specify some
non-standard packages. It managed to create and format the disk
partitions and figure out from the DVD which packages to install.
Not too bad, I suppose.
