I tried booting an old beos boot floppy image (R4.5 i believe). It got as
far as "Now booting BeOS" and hung. It's been sitting there all night :)
It might be trying to access the (non-existant) CD.. I dunno. Anything I
should do to the running process to help debug it, or should I just kill
it off?
Remarkably quiet on stdout/stderr:
