I tried with:

but after 'grml2hd /dev/hda', it stops at the "making ext3 filesystem on /dev/hda". half hours later no progress.

Did you create grml.img before booting ("qemu-img create grml.img $SIZE")? And please create a partition on /dev/hda using cfdisk and then run 'grml2hd /dev/hdaX -mbr /dev/hda'.

I guess I have to create a partition then. thanks Michael.

FYI, I tried with tohd/fromhd without creating a partition, and it was working fine...
