If it works on F13, do we have some specific steps? 1. how to tell anaconda to open /dev/virio-ports/...ananconda.log,pass some args during boot? or this is default? 2. What command can create guest with virtio-serial port which is required to route logs. > In fact, someone from the Anaconda team had contacted me for doing such > a thing but I don't think it has moved forward at all.
