If I run the program with graphics enabled (i.e. no -nographic option) I get
the login prompt and then the password. From then on, the display is in
shell prompt mode. So, does -nographic mean that I won't be able to access
this display? If so, it seems very limiting without being able to run
experiments on our guest machine.

I'd appreciate if you'd explain a bit more what you mean by "serial output
is overridden by the qemu
monitor"..

Thank you. I'm still looking at the vnc option. Just to make sure the
/etc/inittab that is modified (with 7:2345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty ttyS0 9600
vt100-nav) should be the guests or the hosts? I'm a newbie in this area, so
any help would be appreciated.
