Hmm, against my 1:4.2 .....

I suspect thats more my problem than anything.
So, I tried connecting via a serial port (wow, long time since I used
minicom) and, yes, I can connect to install process that way. But its
pretty useless for what I had in mind, I had planned to try and build
Lazarus and tomboy-ng, both are GTK (or Qt) apps so, not very useful
over a serial interface !
So, do I assume that the sparc emulation does not do a GUI interface ?

I can build a viable ppc64el vm here so I can do that test for you if
you like ?  Right now it has a FPC and Lazarus direct from FPC
themselves rather than a Debian install but I can 'fix' that.
Especially if I can come to grips with this backing_file approach.  ;-)
