I do actually remember installing Slackware off piles of floppies, so
I'm familiar with the disk change procedure --- but it act likes it's
hung at the prompt. Pressing ENTER does nothing.

However, now I'm less tired, I've found the full* images, and they work
fine. It feels impressively solid, too. But I still can't make the comb
images work. It looks like they're not detected as bootable. (I tried a
few emulators.)

Has anyone benchmarked it against Minix 2?

I'm using qemu 1.1.2 from Debian, and exactly the same command.
