I've tried now with -smp2 -enable-kvm. Much faster. Thanks. I now get to 
the installation media mount issue much quicker. This time I used:

* Text install
* Language: English
* Location: Ireland
* Keyboard: German

Still get the same issue.

I've also tried the pseudo-graphical install choosing Germany/German. 
Same issue there. And just going with the default for everything 
(pseudo-graphical install, English, US). Same problem.

By contrast, the Debian GNU/Linux x86 bookworm installer, and the 
OpenBSD 7.8 installer work fine for when I use them in qemu.
