+- Note that the serial console support is written with serial terminals in
+ mind. Thus SLOF only looks for CR (0x0d) characters as line endings at the
+ command prompt. If you want to connect to the console with a program like
+ "ncat" for example, you have to make sure that it indeed sends CR characters
+ instead of plain LF (0x0a) characters. For ncat that means that you have to
+ use "nc -C ..." to enable the CR-LF mode, or even better, switch the terminal
+ to raw mode instead, for example like this:
+
+ stty raw -echo ; nc -U /path/to/chardev-socket-from-qemu ; stty sane
