Looks like my problem was that I had "-S" on my qemu command line with
didn't even start the VM after setting it up. Removing the -S makes VNC
and the serial console work.

The most basic reproducer I found is:

/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 \
-m 768 \
-machine pc-i440fx-2.1,accel=kvm,usb=off,dump-guest-core=off \
-nodefaults \
-drive file=/dev/prom/lasso2,format=raw,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,cache=none,discard=unmap,aio=native \
-device virtio-blk-pci,scsi=off,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3,drive=drive-virtio-disk0,id=virtio-disk0,bootindex=1,write-cache=on \
-serial stdio

Simplifying the drive and device virtio-blk-pci lines prevents the
initramfs of the VM from finding the disk and thus the system doesn't
get as far to show the issue.

If you want to see it work, add
-device qxl-vga,id=video0,ram_size=67108864,vram_size=67108864,vram64_size_mb=0,vgamem_mb=16,max_outputs=1,bus=pci.0,addr=0x2 \
-vnc :1
point a vncviewer to port 5901, remove the "serial=ttyS0" configuration
and see the system run normally.

What else can I do?

Greetings
Marc
