Setup a uart on the guest and configure it to send to a domain socket: $ VBoxManage modifyvm foobox -uart1 0x3F8 4 -uartmode1 client /tmp/foobox.sock Tell the FAI nfsroot kernel to send output to the console: $ cat /opt/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default DEFAULT fai LABEL fai kernel fai/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-486 append [blablabla] console=ttyS0 Open the socket in listen mode on the host: $ socat UNIX-LISTEN:/tmp/foobox.sock,ignoreeof - | tee dmesg.guest In another terminal, start the vm: $ VBoxManage startvm foobox -- JR [talking to himself] _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list vbox-users@virtualbox.org http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
