Hi,
A bit more on this - as I have been trying to get it working ... :-). The command you provided did work if I use /dev/tty in place of stdio (i.e. -serial /dev/tty) ... except that it only "starts" to work once I have a login prompt in QEMU (and then also in my command window). I'm trying to capture all the Linux boot info / messages prior to that. Any idea how to get this info to show up in my console window (where I'm executing qemu from)? Thanks!
