 I don't think qemu enforces it, but we should still check for the
 benefit of real hardware.
 
 There is now new log output from b5, with your commit:
 
   http://releng.netbsd.org/b5reports/alpha/2023/2023.11.20.15.16.46/install.log
 
 Pay no attention to the fact that qemu exits on a signal rather than
 anita timing out; this is just because I didn't want to wait for the
 timeout and killed it manually after it had stopped making progress.
 
 There are fewer kernel messages than before (for example, the "lost
 interrupt" message is gone), but the kernel is still reporting a DMA
 error, and sysinst still appears to silently hang once the disk error
 has occurred.
 
 The disk error occurs after anita has responded to sysinst's question
 "On which disk do you want to install" with "a\n".
