Problems with Squeeze alpha1 in qemu

[Mario Lang <mlang@delysid.org>]

Hi.

I am trying to run the new squeeze alpha1 installer under qemu with
-curses.  Apparently, the new installer forces a graphical
boot menu which results in -curses of qemu not working as expected,
i.e. qemu reports the system switched to 640x480.

Does anyone know how to disable this misfeature and force the installer
to stay in text-mode?  fb=false does not help here since due to the
graphical boot menu, I can not really enter that string.
