Thanks. But i'm not using actual floppy disks, i'm using
the downloaded images ... so when it's time to eject floppy1
and insert floppy2, i have to do that using the qemu monitor
commands. As far as i can tell, i'm doing that correctly,
but BL is not seeing floppy2 in the virtual floppy-drive.

As i wrote earlier, if i Ctrl-c at that point i have
the fully functioning command-line BL. But i'm wondering
why the qemu "change" command is not working.
