you'll be prompted with a message that says '640 x 480 Graphic mode' graphics
mode or some such.
hit (blind) the following:
enter # to select 'english' on the syslinux menu
F6 # to bring up expert menu
escape # to make menu go away, and edit cmdline
backspace backspace backspace # to remove ' --'
console=ttyS0 # to do install over console
then, hit alt-2 to switch to qemu's ncurses serial console.
you should see the option of chosing a LANG betwen 'C' and 'en_US', but
you will not be able to select either as the e enter key does not seem
to work even though tab and arrows do.
Note, that doing the above in the SDL window (ie, without '-curses'
argument) works fine, even doing the serial install.
it seems that something is just not set up right with keyboard input.
