I'm trying your approach and sure enough there's a ttyS0 serviced by
getty in the UML, such as:

root [...] 464 ttyS0 [...]  0:00 /sbin/getty ttyS0 38400

From an inittab line like:

1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty ttyS0 38400

Now, how do you connect from your host to this serial port in the UML ?

Thanks,

lanas
