In order to investigate some panics I'm trying to run a Virtual Box
install of the latest SmartOS under kmdb.  I'm currently stuck trying to
get input to the console to work...

When I select SmartOS+kmdb from grub, the machine boots into kmdb and I
get the usual prompt, but no keyboard input is accepted.

Any ideas?


Sorted!

Follow the instructions for setting up serial console access to the VM here:

http://wiki.illumos.org/display/illumos/Serial+Console+in+VirtualBox

then in grub,  edit SmartOS+kmdb, enter command line mode and enter

variable os_console ttya
<ESC>
b

and you will have a working serial console.
