Hi,

I'm working on project to implement a serial boot option in proll to 
emulate the way a real sparc bios works.  However I'm having some 
problems that I was hoping someone here could help me with.

I can't seem to access qemu's serial port hardware.  I can see how it's 
done by other functions (like vcon_zs_getch), but I can't seem to call 
these functions or copy their functionality.  I basically need a 
getchar() function for the serial port that I can call.  Anybody care to 
explain how to do this or at least point me in the right direction?  Thanks.

-Doug
