@Jes:

No, it doesn't boot on its own, it's a simple FAT formatted floppy image. I've even tried to format a real floppy on Windows, copied the drivers on it, and saved the whole floppy as an image with rawrite. I also tried other floppy images, but:

QEMU 0.12.4 hangs if I try to boot from the Win2k3 install cd AND use a floppy image at the same time. If I boot from the Win2k8 install cd, it works fine.

The install cd of Win2k3 isn't corrupted. It just can't be because I even tried it with an ISO image downloaded directly from MS. And both images boot up everywhere, as well on real machines as on VirtualBox.
