Yeah, that's definitely missing /usr/share/openbios/QEMU,cgthree.bin
which will be invoked with -vga cg3.
David: you can try removing -vga cg3 and see if can get the framebuffer
to initialise; even if the OS can't use the default TCX framebuffer you
should at least see the yellow OpenBIOS console instead of a black
screen (and confirms that it is the missing QEMU,cgthree.bin ROM which
is the problem).
Given that I've been building QEMU release from git master for years now
and a local test just now works fine, I can't help thinking that this is
related to the Debian packages...
ATB,
Mark.
