This part is confusing. The '-serial pty' argument redirects a physical
serial port (UART) on the emulated (target) machine to a pseudo-terminal
device on the host (a PTY). The "PTY" is not inside the VM.
Ah, my bad. I have been thinking that ptys are just generalized tty
devices, and of course such things exist inside a VM but they aren't
relevant in this scenario it seems.
Anyway: I want to avoid in-VM configuration as much as possible.
Instead, I want to interact with the PC console: A text-mode screen and
a keyboard.
I.e. no configuration for a serial console in the guest. (The guest
isn't Linux, it's FreeBSD and I'm not familiar enough with that to
confidently configure anything inside it.)
