Hello, this runs a qemu image with serial output in a log file:

Add to grub.cfg in the hurd image:
+ serial --speed=9600 --unit=0 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1
+ terminal_input serial
+ terminal_output serial

- multiboot /boot/gnumach.gz root=device:hd0s1 -s --crash-debug
+ multiboot /boot/gnumach.gz root=device:hd0s1 console=com0 -s --crash-
debug

Running with graphic and serial console, log file in serial.log:
qemu-system-x86_64 -chardev
stdio,id=char0,logfile=serial.log,signal=off -serial chardev:char0 --
enable-kvm -m 2048 hurd-cross-serial.img

Note: The mailer wraps the command lines.

Thanks!
