I don't know what went wrong. But if your CD works with qemu and not 
with a real PC, you may use a serial console in qemu, which is not 
connected to your real PC?

Best thing you may do, to track the problem is,
boot in qemu with priority=medium or low, load the ssh-client udeb and 
execute the shell udeb from the menu. You must boot in text mode, to 
make this work.

Then post the content of /proc/cmdline
and the content of your profiles/*postinst

then one may see if there are any mistakes
