Any luck booting this on QEMU?

[kirbysayshi]

Since Februrary QEMU apparently supports aarch64 and raspi3! But I haven't had much success booting pi64 with it.

I've downloaded/extracted the kernel from https://github.com/bamarni/pi64-kernel/releases, and converted the pi64-lite.img to qcow2 using qemu-img. But the following command shows no errors, only a black QEMU window with no text.

$ qemu-system-aarch64 -kernel pi64-kernel-2017-08-27/boot/kernel8.img -append "root=/dev/sda2 panic=1 rootfstype=ext4 rw" -hda pi64-lite.qcow2 -M raspi3

Any suggestions? Perhaps raspi3 support is still too early?
