[uml-devel] problem booting uml without xterms
Hi, I'm trying to boot uml on a server, and I don't want to have to have X installed to do it, so I want to boot without the xterm consoles. For the life if me I can't figure out the right con=* command line params and/or get them to work per: http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/input.html I've spent about 4 hours trying every possible combination i think ;/ I don't care if uml's available via tty pty or whatever, I think my preference would be to attach via a screen. So long as I don't have to have X to load it i'm happy. Could someone perhaps provide a current working example? If it matters, my host is ubuntu with 2.6.12-rc4-skas3-v9-pre4, the uml is gentoo I built 2.6.11-gentoo-r11, I'm not using devfs. thanks!
