I just tried Virtual C64 and it seems the emulation is not that bad after all.
The problem seems to be something different. If you attach to the file "packages.d64" and try to extract the files from the archive, the disc runs full and the process gets stuck. The "disc full" error it not handled correctly…

You should open the file "lunix.d64" instead. This disc image contains the already extracted files rather than the archives. Afterwards just load and run "loader", it worked for me.
