Qemu Serial Console For Mac
Jump to Serial port connection using com0com - Add the following option to your QEMU command line. Otherwise QEMU won't use the serial port at all! I can't boot the debian installer via serial console in qemu: qemu-system-x86_64 -boot d -cdrom debian-8.5.0-amd64-netinst.iso -nographic I'd expect a prompt from isolinux on the serial console which lets me change the boot parameters. I have no real system to verify this, but IIRC then it worked in the past.
Hi, let's have a look at the available options in Grub menu. As you can see, the first default option is to boot VyOS in KVM console. That's why you cannot see boot messages in serial console window but you can see it in Qemu window. There is a Qemu option -nographic configured in my tutorial (Picture 4) that prevents Qemu popup window to open. In fact, they're three options here. Either change the default boot options to Serial console in OS or manually select boot to Serial console during the boot when the Grub menu appears.
The third option may be to delete -nographic option and check messages in Qemu window. To change the default boot order from kvm to serial console permanently, navigate to /boot/grub/grub.cfg and change line set default=0 to set default=1.

Does anyone know how to run with the -nographic option in Mac OS X? The idea is to use the native Terminal for a text based operation instead of running inside Qemu’s own window. The -nographic option starts Qemu with no output at all, there's also a -chardev option that can be used with “serial” and path=/dev/tty. However I haven’t been able to pull any of these options off to get it to work. The serial option specifically want’s a unique id, but I have no idea what the id is supposed to be.

The syntax is also a bit peculiar with a mix of commas and equal signs behind a group of options. From the man page of -chardev for example: -chardev serial,id=id,path=path. Google has given some hints how it can be done, but those examples have all been Linux specific.
