Sorry, busy time here.  I manage to get your image files converted for
use with qemu, but I can't actually get the image to output anything on
a serial concole.  Given that content in READMe I guess you need some
graphics bit for it?    That's unforuntately not easily doable for me
sitting behind a slow linux with the testbox far away.
