In serial console mode it should boot and the install should finish (Qemu 
CVS version), at least on 3.1r1 full CD.

I made some tests a while ago, here are the results:

Aurora 1.0 graphical: X starts
Aurora 2.0 graphical: X starts, partitioning fails
Aurora 2.1 graphical: installer thinks CD is not correct
Debian 3.1 R1 serial: install complete
Gentoo 1.4 RC5 graphical: shell prompt, keyboard fast repeat
Gentoo 2004.1 graphical: shell prompt, keyboard fast repeat, hangs
NetBSD 1.6.1 graphical: loader can't find kernel
NetBSD 2.1 graphical: loader can't find kernel
NetBSD 3.0 graphical: loader can't find kernel
Red Hat 4.2 Zoot graphical: Cannot open /dev/kbd, keyboard doesn't work
SuSE 7.1 graphical: X starts, mouse doesn't work
