We'll go fix that in qemu, but that'll work for new qemu versions only, not for the old already released ones. So I think it would be useful if seabios makes sure sgabios and serial console are not both active at the same time, i.e. in case we find "vgaroms/sgabios.bin" being present either turn off builtin serial console, or don't load sgabios (and possibly also enable builtin serial console). Comments? cheers, Gerd
