But you did not boot from current bootblocks installed on hard disk?

(Just asking, not sure if booting from wd0 is the same as from cd.  qemu 
successfully boots from emulated-floppy drive, and successfully runs 
sysinstall, it is only later when it tries to boot from the installed 
images.)

The hard drive is specified to be 1GB, and it gets partitioned by 
sysinstall.  I'm pretty sure it just uses sysinstall defaults.  By 
looking at the log file, it looks like 32MB of swap.  I'm not sure how 
much fun it would be to change this in anita.
