I think the problem is with your setup. I've just booted that exact netinst image happily using qemu-system-aarch64 -m 4G -cpu cortex-a57 -M virt -smp 8 -nographic -pflash AAVMF_CODE.fd -pflash AAVMF_VARS.fd -drive file=/scratch/iso/debian-stretch-DI-rc1-arm64-netinst.iso,id=cdrom,if=none,media=cdrom -device virtio-scsi-device -device scsi-cd,drive=cdrom -k en-gb -netdev user,id=eth0 -device virtio-net-device,netdev=eth0 and it's running the installer right now with udebs from the netinst iso. What version of qemu-efi are you using for /usr/share/qemu-efi/QEMU_EFI.fd? -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com "Further comment on how I feel about IBM will appear once I've worked out whether they're being malicious or incompetent.
