It works!  Thank you so much. At first of course I could not help tinkering and went and enabled USB and then forgot about that, after which it carried on hanging on the ArcaOS logo. When I remembered I'd done that, I disabled USB and the installation went through without a hitch.

One change I did make was to set the upscaling to linear (form nearest neighbour) - this dramatically improved the font rendering.

Mouse movement is a little laggy/floaty at times, but overall, happy days!

Thank you once again.

Nice! Glad it's working for you. I've attached what I'm using for QEMU config as well.

It's just a shell script with the QEMU commands.

Cheers
