I realized this is probably better suited for the devel list.. basically, is there any way in the BOCHS bios to enable 'Serial Console Redirection', where you see the BIOS contents over the serial line?

Windows 2003's 'Emergency Management Services' console (which allows you to do installs and fix stuff over the serial line) requires this to activate.. piece of crap.

It'd also be nice for *NIX installs on HVM, where you don't want to deal with SDL or VNC.

Thanks much!  :)

    HVM?

It'd be nice to be able to use the "Emergency Management Services" for Windows 2003 under Xen.. apparently, to use them, however, the BIOS has to support serial redirection. Is there any way to get the BOCHS bios to support serial redirection? I haven't been able to find anything.

Thanks!
