I know it now, I make a mistake about it, thank you!

Yes, I have make the line: #T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 9600
vt100 in guests kernel available, and it work success in terminal.

I have try it, but it's no help to me. Beause I must use program.

My net work is work. I use TUN/TAP, bridge-util, DHCP. and it work ok.
