I booted it, and I got somewhere at least. X doesn’t work, sure.
I’ll retry it tomorrow.

Eh? WFM… I’ll have a look. Meanwhile, post your ARAnyM version
and how you invoked it.

This used to work with the 2012-Apr image, and AFAICT also the
current one. If not, I’ll nachbesser, of course.

Not possible, nfcon is one direction only (parallel printer).
The console is not usable over VNC, so the only possible solution
for remote/headless ARAnyM is to use SSH exclusively. (Yes, there
is no sshd in the image. Yes, this is by design – it needs entropy;
while I could provide some, that would neither be pure Debian, nor
would it be considered reliable by paranoid people.)
