Look in the QEMU docs, there are a lot of possible options. I imagine you probably want either stdio or you want to use the -nographic option.

If you are referring to using serial devices to connect to the Qemu monitor, I use the telnet option (-monitor telnet::5000,server,nowait). That option allows me to connect to the Qemu monitor via telnet to that port. I also specify a different port for each different VM (5001, 5002, etc.) and then I can run a very large number of VM's without any device conflicts. For my telnet application, I prefer netcat, since it allows me to use Ctrl-C to exit without having to deal with telnet's escape sequences. My answer may not be even close to what or why you were asking, but I hope that helps. -- Alberto Treviño alberto@byu.edu ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
