[Replying to an old bugreport] Current qemu has another debugging feature, which is enabled by a special chardev, like this: -chardev stdio,id=seabios \ -device isa-debugcon,iobase=0x402,chardev=seabios This is for seabios itself, but probably not for vgabios. Is that chardev not enough for your needs? Upstream is now in process of removing the code around this (parts in hw/pc.c which are enabled after #defining DEBUG_BIOS), and the next version of qemy most likely will use vgabios from the seabios sources, not from the bochs project -- and that one will most likely have different (and simpler) debugging provisions.
