Running qemu-system-aarch64 on x86_64 system?

[grapefruithoarder2000]

Hello. So i have been playing around with quite a lot of different virtual machines, configurations, operating systems etc..
I wanted to try emulating some other architecture with qemu and had quite the problems trying to get it to work.

Currently i am trying to install debian for my virtual machine but i really don't get what i'm doing wrong. Whenever i run the command where i install to the debian.img then qemu just seems to start in some weird monitor mode? Its some kind of command line for qemu but i dont really know why that is starting up.

The result that i expect to happen is that it boots my debian.iso

But actually it just starts in this command line Qemu monitor mode...

This is the command i use:

Hi there,

This is a command for a different system so modify it. Set up the image with qemu-nbd, Arch Linux has information about that. Include authorized_keys for ssh access. The base I used was from an already installed .zip file, Devuan trial arm images.
