my goal here is to get all the server's boot logs -- kernel & xen -- into a 
remote terminal, as well as early access/control of BIOS & grub.

if "go through" hvc0 means writing to it (?),

checking, on the server

        dmesg | grep hvc
                [    1.823193] printk: console [hvc0] enabled
                [   21.773282] systemd[1]: Found device /dev/hvc0.
                [   50.136976] systemd[1]: Started Serial Getty on hvc0.

        stty -F /dev/hvc0
                speed 38400 baud; line = 0;
                min = 1; time = 0;
                -brkint -icrnl -imaxbel
                -isig -icanon -iexten -echo -echoe -echok -echoctl -echoke

not sure where that baud rate comes from -- or can be (re)set

attempting to change fails,

        /bin/stty -F /dev/hvc0 115200
                /bin/stty: /dev/hvc0: unable to perform all requested operations

and writes to it on server aren't making it to my desktop terminal at all -- 
whether 'minicom' baud rate is set to 115200 or 38400

i.e., on server,

        echo -e "test" > /dev/hvc0

succeeds (no error/hang), but NO data at desktop/minicom.


I *am* assuming this^^ is all the correct approach.  If not, what is?
