    Sorry, I didn't read your tutorials. Here is the intention of
quemu: emulate the instruction set of a foreign architecture. This means
you must install an armhf kernel under your qemu virtual machine; and
this virtual machine will then execute the binaries downladed by
debootstrap's first stage. I doubt you can do anything without an armhf
kernel. Because what debootstrap --second stage does is run dpkg on the
target arch, to install the downloaded packages and then apt-get install
a minimal OS. And all this is made by executabes meant to be run by an
armhf cpu, obviously.

    Couls you remind us why you don't install a ready-made armhf image?
