It goes straight into qemu's console, i enter a HD password as requested (*

i can go to Ctrl-1 and Ctrl-2 with no problem.

BUT  the qemu console (ctrl-2) is completely useless. everything I type still

This is just a "Me Too".

I don't use encrypted disks... just thought I'd try it out.  Followed 
your instructions above, and I get the exact same results.  I have no 
idea if it is the correct behavior or not.


I have however, once or twice, appealed to the port maintainer and found 
him to be responsive and helpful.




am I missing something ?

thanks,
