I'm very new to QEMU. So I tried installing Debian in QEMU image following this instruction https://wiki.debian.org/QEMU.

I first created an image.

qemu-img create -f qcow2 debian.qcow 2G

Then installed Debian 9.5 from net install ISO.

qemu -hda debian.img -cdrom debian-9.5.0-amd64-netinst.iso -boot d -m 1024

I can run it normally with graphics mode.

qemu -hda debian.img -m 1024

But when I run it with -nographic flag, the terminal outputs nothing.

I've tried several flags including:

-nographic -nographic -kernel -serial mon:stdio -append 'console=ttyS0' -curses

And more from other answered questions

I know it's running but I cannot see the output. Where did I do it wrong?

Did you configure the Debian guest to use its serial console? – Michael Hampton Jul 26 '18 at 14:13
No, I haven't. How can I change it? – Kavin Ruengprateepsang Jul 26 '18 at 14:24
Minimal runnable example that just works: https://github.com/cirosantilli/linux-kernel-module-cheat/tree/753cbe68ff50bea0982e1791c8a2178a999d8377#qemu-buildroot-setup-getting-started Start from there and bisect out your problem. – Ciro Santilli OurBigBook.com Nov 06 '18 at 17:59
