Vboxheadless is just that, a headless interface to the virtual machine, which lets you connect to the first physical console inside the system via vrdp on tcp 3389, or you can disable the vrdp option when running vboxheadless, and connect to the guest via ssh, if the guest has a configured ssh server. Also, note that the vrdp server I'm talking about here is provided by vboxheadless, and not a vrdp server which might be running on a windows guest, though you could use that too, if you wanted. > A serial console is probably still an option. > Bochs can direct serial I/O to a pseudo-terminal, and I've used the socat > utility to service the host end of the emulated serial line. > In other words, I don't need serial hardware in order to use the serial > console of a virtual system. > I bet Virtual Box will allow something similar. Yes, it does.
