No, it was because I left out one argument that did not have a default
value. This should work (works for me at least):

qemu -hda debian.img -m 1024 \
	-chardev socket,id=tty0,host=127.0.0.1,port=5555,server,telnet \
	-serial chardev:tty0 -nographic \
	-kernel vmlinux -append 'console=ttyS0,115200n8' \
	-initrd initrd.gz

If you're seeing something like:

QEMU waiting for connection on: disconnected:telnet:127.0.0.1:5555,server

that means it works, connect with telnet, or netcat, or whatever.

-serial [dev] means:

Redirect the virtual serial port to host character device dev.

As I wrote earlier, we don't do Windows here, so I cannot produce a
Windows equivalent of /dev/com25.
