I tried it under QEMU and it failed when trying to use the install disk
-- it would reboot and tell me it wasn't a bootable disk, or on the
INstall0024 disk it would just hang at reboot :(

I'm playing with VirtualBox but not getting anywhere. Kernel will
load, install disk 1 will load, but depending upon my setup (ESDI boot
disk with IDE controller, or SCSI boot disk with SCSI controller) I
get to different places. With ESDI/IDE combo I get to a "broken"
single-user shell that doesn't have a filesystem at all. With the SCSI
setup I get errors about lack of token ring, lack of devices, and it
halts/panics.
I'm wondering if the Virtual PC setup in the screenshot had some of
the more specific devices emulated (or patched through) which the
kernel is looking for (model of SCSI controller, etc.)
I bumped the RAM down to 32M and have a 1GB virtual disk.
How
hardware-specific was it? Is there a chance of it running in a VM?
