I rebuilt the install floppy (it had been a year), so any
new hardware support should be present in it.  In particular,
it contains the vgadb entry for the QEMU vga card.

The CD-ROM is rebuilt every night so it was already up-to-date.

Jim and I looked at the QEMU disk issue today.  The problem
is that QEMU doesn't implement the (required) execute device
diagnostics command.  The following patch fixes QEMU.  I will
send it to the QEMU guys too.

          case WIN_SPECIFY:

              s->error = 0;

Enjoy.
