I have got past that point, but not using a vdi image. I built a CD image -- QEMU booted that for me, I could select the option to boot MeeGo and it worked. But, of course, it didn't save anything between boots (as it was running from a "CD"). The install to disk option didn't work but I was able to just copy everything from the root of the CD-booted image (using tar cf - / | tar xf - -C /my/disk/). I then just had to sort out booting from the disk image (copy the kernel and the initrd from the real root of the CD, install extlinux, create the extlinux.conf, copy an MBR onto the disk). So, I now have a disk image which will boot in QEMU. There may have been an easier way, but I didn't find it.
