Currently, by trial and error, I have managed to get hte login prompt to
display in a separate xterm and have this as the only xterm to popup when I
run uml. I have played around with several 'con,pts' combinations but could
not even get a login prompt to showup . The 'con0,con,con1' combination
given below is the only one that worked for me.
The command I use is
linux devfs=nomount mem=256M \
ubd0=redhat9.disk_uml_left_client1.cow,/usr/redhat9.image.workstation.disk
\
fakehd fake_ide con0=fd:0,fd:1 con=pty con1=xterm ubd=3 root=6201 \
eth0=daemon,10:00:01:02:00:00,,/tmp/left.ctl umid=uml_left_client_1
However, I do not understand why exactly the 'con,con0,con1' combo works the
way it does. Any pointers on how consoles,terminals etc link into the boot
process will be greately appreciated . I realize it is not a uml-specific
question and am searching for answers in general unix sources.
Also, I need to run a network of virtual machines and would like to reduce
the number of windows. I would like to have the login prompt show up in the
same xterm from which I kickoff the above command. Again, I have blindly
tried whatever I could think of , but with no success.
Plus, If I am to use a command line as above, how do I specify any
attributes for the xterm ?
something like con0="xterm -fn 8x13" did not work
Thanks
Murthy
