Hi,

What is the current way of getting a xen console on a FreeBSD 10.1 DomU?

I=E2=80=99ve been searching on:
* https://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/Xen (reasonably up to date, but has =
no info on console)
* http://wiki.xen.org (completely outdated, =E2=80=9Cofficial=E2=80=9D =
documentation points to installation of FreeBSD 7.2(!))

I found instructions to add a line to /boot/loader.conf =
(console=3D"comconsole=E2=80=9D)
or a line to /etc/ttys (xc0     "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         vt100   =
on  secure)

But in either case I am getting an error on the Linux Dom0:
xenconsole: Could not read tty from store: No such file or directory

Is it still possible to get a console from a Linux Dom0? How?
What would be the best place to publish instructions for that?

Thanks,
Jeroen.
