Thanks.  I have a little progress.

On the Toshiba 4000 CDS this weekend, 
"vga=788" gives a display.  

Also I found that a vga/vesa number which 
is faulty, will prompt grub or the kernel 
to display a list of configurations and 
wait for a choice.

When the system prompt appears I can again try 

qemu -m 40 -boot d -cdrom /home/peter/AosCD.iso

Some text from qemu flashes briefly on the 
screen and then it grinds to a halt with 
this message.

Could not open '/dev/kqemu' - QEMU acceleration layer not activated: No such file or directory
Could not open SDL display

I've installed the kqemu packages yet 
/dev/kqemu is absent.

What is the problem with kqemu?

Thanks for any further ideas,
                     ... Peter E.
