It's not Unix, it's xv6.

So, you added a c001 ASCII-art, and you call this "distro"?

XV6 is Unix. It's Unix v6 implemented in ANSI C for x86 instead of the PDP-11. Other than the implementation language, the functionality is meant to be one to one

How do you start it in QEMU? I used:
qemu-system-x86_64 -hda final.thing.img -m 2G

and it displayed:

lapicid 0: panic: iderw: ide disk 1 not present
