Well qemu's crash is a bug in qemu for sure. The garbage being written is probably due to device i/o mapping issues (could clash with physical ram mapped low) so is separate issue. Of course we will need to solve both :) Do you see screen garbage before crash?
Yeah; a keyboard command error and a single letter "s" with -nographic:
qemu: unsupported keyboard cmd=0x57 sSegmentation fault
The segmentation fault is actually the Qemu host process dying. The VNC display looks more interesting; it seems that something is writing all over the screen memory just before the crash happens.
I believe from Nick's email that he can also recreate this using latest OpenBIOS SVN, a recent pull of Qemu and a Milax 0.3.2 ISO image.
HTH,
