Yeah, that's definitely missing /usr/share/openbios/QEMU,cgthree.bin which will be invoked with -vga cg3. David: you can try removing -vga cg3 and see if can get the framebuffer to initialise; even if the OS can't use the default TCX framebuffer you should at least see the yellow OpenBIOS console instead of a black screen (and confirms that it is the missing QEMU,cgthree.bin ROM which is the problem). Given that I've been building QEMU release from git master for years now and a local test just now works fine, I can't help thinking that this is related to the Debian packages... ATB, Mark.
