the 'ÿ' character gets displayed after a couple of seconds, then nothing happens anymore.

If there is more information you need, please ask so.
This is an important issue and I have not received any support whatsoever.

You are not providing any information about the host system, how big is it, what CPUs, what version of QEMU etc.
Thanks,
