QEMU serial port suggestion

 

A fellow on Facebook suggested the following to create a serial port (virtual) to telnet into on a QEMU host emulation.  

Running a sparc host running Solaris 2.8 or Sunos 4.1 as guests with sparc versions on the qemu host.  Networking isn't functional yet, but would be nice to get into the system remotely somehow till it does.  

This emulates a serial port on a virtual Sparc system so won't natively have any networking.  Hopefully will discover how to get the sparc host NIC connected on the guest, but this is handy for now.

Jim St Add "-serial telnet:localhost:4321,server,nowait". Then you can just telnet to the 4321 port
