It seems the process is somehow very slow.  In order to dramatically
sped it up, please use cache=unsafe with your drives.  It is recommended
for an OS install too.  The effect of it is that qemu ignores FLUSH_CACHE
commands from gest, immediately reporting success, so I/O is dramatically
reduced.  Since it is inital OS install, in case of crash or anything it
is trivial to re-start it from the beginning.
