Ok. I figured out how to resolve the problem, but through a work-around.
One main difference was I had to use qemu-img instead of dd to create the
disk images. The other was during the guest system install to make
logical partitions *not* primary partitions.
qemu-img create -f qcow d4.debian.ext2.qcow 400M
qemu-img create -f qcow d4.debian.swap.qcow 200M
Then I fire up a vncserver and connect.
Inside the vnc client I could then boot the install CD and go through the
installation:
qemu -k fi -cdrom debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso -boot d \
-hda debian2.ext2.dmg -hdb debian.swap.dmg
Once the installation was done, I can then boot the new system
in d4.debian.ext2.qcow :
qemu -k en-us -boot c \
-hda d4.debian.ext2.qcow \
-hdb d4.debian.swap.qcow \
-cdrom debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso
I'm not quite sure how to ssh to the guest system, but since I seem to
be able to initiate outbound connections, it should be within reach to
solve that, too.
