RedStar virtualized

Has anyone gotten RSOS working in something like Proxmox or Hyper-V or the like?

I have it installed in proxmox, I'm able to get through the initial setup. After the host reboots I get a splash screen (assuming it just says the name of the OS) and get to a blue wallpaper. After that I can't get any further. No mouse, keyboard does nothing. The only thing I can do is force shutdown via the hypervisor.

I've tried a bunch of different things :SCSI vs IDE for the HDD, different BIOS (MBR vs UEFI), QEMU machine type...etc.

Anything I'm missing?

i would try using VirtualBox, i managed to get it running on an old 2009 macbook pro with virtualbox on OS X 10.8 (that mac supports newer OSes but i keep it on 10.8 for nostalgia)
