Unless you have set up your custom image to have a serial console, it
won't have anything listening there. Rather than rebooting, you should
use the escape sequence that's described in vmadm(1M).

Nothing like that is supported. I guess you could try to slap down
pkgsrc in the GZ, try and start X, and then attach the NUC to that, but
it strikes me as painful, and it'll leave you really off the beaten path.

The first step is to understand what virtual device has been emulated
and verify that it's present and accurately detected in the guest, as
well as having a driver attached to it.
