Hoary's QEMU on Warty

[dave]

I ran into this some time back....if I remember correctly, the problem 
had to do with a buggy bios.bin...

Download qemu from http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/ and pull 
bios.bin from the tarball. Replace /usr/share/qemu/bios.bin (back it 
up!) with this one and retry.

I'm at work now, so I can't go into detail, but that might do it for you.

have fun
Dave
