Hi Olivier
hvc0 is the xen serial console (probably a relic from an AWS config), so
it looks like a bug from bootstrap-vz.
I guess if the console points to a non-existing device the kernel will
refuse to boot ?
BTW for interrupting I thought it would be possible to press Shift when
starting the Box in GUI mode. Does that work on VirtualBox ?
