Okay, then it's not surprising that grub-install fails. The emulation
here is just incomplete here then.

You can just skip the failed installation of GRUB and continue with no bootloader.
Then extract kernel and initrd from the VM image and pass them to QEMU with
"-kernel" and "-initrd" respectively.
You don't really need bootloader for a QEMU anyway as you can always specify
kernel and initrd through parameters as explained above.
