Removing 'insmod gfxterm' and 'insmod vbe' let's the guest boot up.

The full output of the error message is:

  error: no suitable mode found.
  error: unknown command `terminal'.
  out of range pointer 0x80220000
  Aborted: Press any key to exit.

The first error is from video/video.c:grub_video_set_mode(). This function is presumably triggered from `insmod gfxmenu'. For whatever reason, grub is unable to find a working mode when using the standard VGA driver in QEMU.

I tried changing the default 640x480 mode to 800x600 but that didn't help.
