[Oberon] A2 installer under qemu.

[peter at easthope.ca]

When the A2 installer runs under qemu-system-x86_64 the console 
receives the following trace, ending with "IDE0#0  invalid partition ... TRAP 8".  
Under qemu, I haven't found a way to edit config strings.  <Shift> and 
<Scroll Lock> don't work as they would when booting from a diskette 
or CD.  Any suggestions about this?

Thanks,                     ... Peter E.
