It's probably easier to get it running in a VM, since it expects a very plain 32-bit IBM-compatible machine and doesn't handle modern things like USB. Just set your VM to emulate the oldest hardware it supports.
Yeah, but I'm not sure how to get it onto the virtual HDD in the first place. The instructions given depend on real hardware. Thinking about it, I suppose I could install Linux in the virtual machine, and follow the instructions there..
Update: Managed to get it installed to its own hard drive in virtualbox by hacking the install script to allow it. Unfortunately, it kernel panics during boot. I'll try again, this time with a Linux live cd
