With "-serial mon:stdio" on the qemu command line, it starts it's command shell in the start-up terminal. You next need to prod this with "^A c" (no quotes) to get the prompt, and there you can do things like "sendkey ctrl-alt-f1" and more. There is overwhelming documentation.

Thanks for this. It is nice to have a running example
of a linux system with vdev!

Notes:
- boots to console, startx to get to openbox

The console isn't available in my testing.

When I run this (under qemu) all boot menu choices I tested started
openbox. And X is always respawned after I kill it.

Running under qemu, the key combinations I would use to get
to a virtual console, such as Ctrl-Alt-2, or even
Ctrl-Alt-Backspace exit the qemu grab.

regards,



Oh right. It only boots to console after you install it. That's because
live-config scripts will enable auto-login to desktop and console. To
disable that in a live session, press TAB at the boot menu and edit the
chosen boot entry to add 'noautologin noxautologin'.

I don't know how to drop to console in qemu. I get the same as you (host
system drops to console.) In virtualbox, right-ctrl-F2 works.
