In section 3.4, "Running in QEMU", when running
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom os.iso
I get the following when executed over ssh or VM console:
Could not initialize SDL(No available video device) - exiting

Running qemu-system-x86_64 -curses -cdrom os.iso works. Though instructions on how to exit the emulator would be great too.

Debian Jessie on VirtualBox 5.0.0.

By the way, this is a great tutorial. Everything has been explained very well so far.

Thanks!

Overall, this issue sounds like a candidate for #43

Though instructions on how to exit the emulator would be great too.

That's being discussed over at intermezzOS/kernel#12, which could be in either repository, frankly, but it was opened there first.
