Thanks to encol's prodding, I finally decided to bite the bullet and attempt "method #1" again!

Since I was already on Ubuntu, had armel architecture in it, had qemu installed, I directly went to the 2nd half of the steps: wget vmlinuz, wget initrd, qemu-img create & qemu-system-arm..

Even though I wasn't running "an emulator on an emulator", and only qemu directly on Ubuntu, it still took almost a whole day for the last step to finish.

I completed the remaining steps and got the debian jessie image running.

But now, the network configuration of the VM seems to be faulty: not able to install any packages, not able to ssh into the VM...
