![]() I’ve worked out two ways of accessing the serial port: by converting to TCP and by converting to a pty (pseudo teletype device). How do you access serial port exposed as a socket? Use socat! ![]() Normal user permssions are sufficient to create a pipe, but when you run VirtualBox and examine the file type, you’ll find out that what has been actually created is a unix domain socket rather than a pipe. It would be very nice to use it, but VirtualBox run as a normal user lacks permissions to create devices. Enable serial port COM1 (IRQ 4 I/O port 0x3F8). If you go to the details tab, and see ‘Serial Ports’, you can click it and get a dialog box. VirtualBox supports attaching a serial device to a guest machine. Solaris x86 supports installation over a serial port. ![]() I had to go out of my screen session, use mouse, click the virtual machine window, let it steal the input and then press right ctrl key to go out, and use mouse again to go back to my screen session. While installing Solaris on VirtualBox on Linux host, I was slightly annoyed by the graphical interface.
