Regarding running qemu without VGA graphics.
Please test this out with WP if possible, booting from CLI not X.

I might install SW10.2 to a partition to test qemu in before messing up 
the BL libraries irreversably, then attempt to compile a version that does 
not need SW9.0.  Can it be compiled to not use SDL at all?  Will it run in 
-nographic mode if you don't have the SDL library?
