Hello

I was following the instructions in the original post from where you build this repository.

Software and versions:
Host machine: Debian Buster 4.19.0-14-amd64
qemu version: QEMU emulator version 3.1.0 (Debian 1:3.1+dfsg-8+deb10u8)

Hardware:
Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller
Qualcomm Atheros AR9462 Wireless Network Adapter

I downloaded the 2 files for Buster version here:
https://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/buster/main/installer-armhf/current/images/netboot/

Then I tried to use the command you use in https://github.com/notinaboat/qemu_debian_armhf/blob/master/qemu.sh but without the -cpu max -smp 4 options because otherwise it hangs at the very beginning. I also didn't include the -append "root=/dev/vda2" because the original tutorial is not using it either. And since Buster is a recent version, I used the suggested options from the original turorial, -device virtio-blk-pci and -device virtio-net-pci instead of the older options.

The complete command I used was:
qemu-system-aarch64 -M virt -m 4096 \
-kernel installer-vmlinuz \
-initrd installer-initrd.gz \
-drive if=none,file=hda.qcow2,format=qcow2,id=hd \
-device virtio-blk-pci,drive=hd -netdev user,id=net0,hostfwd=tcp:127.0.0.1:5555-:22 \
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=net0 \
-nographic \
-no-reboot

but when the installer tries to find network adapters, it finds none.
Any ideas why it can't find any adapters? Is the installer trying to find my host machine adapters or the virtual machine adapter?

Thanks
