2a. Patch the qemu code. There is currently a bug that causes qemu to
execute Etherboot incredibly slowly. The bug seems to be related
to the relative prioritisation of CPU and I/O operations within
qemu. This patch (which I found via Google) isn't a proper fix,
but it does work around the problem:
patch -p0 < qemu-patch
3. Configure qemu with
pushd qemu
./configure --enable-system --enable-profiler
./configure --enable-system
popd
Note that qemu will not compile with gcc4; if your system's
default compiler is gcc4 then specify the path to gcc3 using
e.g. --cc=gcc-3.3.6
