If anyone is curious, I did a quick test on my over-engineered configuration with Windows Vista running VirtualBox with Ubuntu 64-bit as guest system running QEMU which is supposed to run Debian Etch 32-bit SPARC. I run: $ qemu-img create -f qcow hda.img 20G $ qemu-system-sparc -m 256 -hda hda.img -cdrom /home/mloskot/software/debian/debian-40r8-sparc-netinst.iso -boot d -localtime and QEMU window appears but it remains black all the time. The VirtualBox CPU is running 100%. I can issue CTRL+ALT+{1|2|3} to switch QEMU consoles, but nothing related to Debian booting appears. Here is screenshot: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mloskot/5348626557/ I'm wondering if this is related to the VirtualBox+Linux host proxy.
