I've tested many QEMU versions when trying to narrow it down,
including current git master.
I'm building current GIT master on Fedora 27, using:
./configure --target-list=x86_64-softmmu --disable-xen \
--prefix=$HOME/usr/qemu-git
make -j 8
make install
$HOME/usr/qemu-git/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 \
-fda ~/FLOPPY.img -monitor stdio -M isapc,accel=tcg
Where 'FLOPPY.img' is the FreeDOS download from
http://www.freedos.org/download/download/FD12FLOPPY.zip
That's an installer image - just wait till it displays the
first install screen to "select a language".
Then in the QEMU monitor console I do
(qemu) sendkey ctrl-alt-delete

Yep, it should work, within limits of its feature set of course.

Daniel
