If so, is it possible to establish a serial connection between the host and guest operating systems? In particular, what devices should I be using on the respective machines and in the vmware configuration editor? I'd like to try using remote gdb between the host and guest machines, but can't seem to get a serial connection established. I've tried using /dev/cuaa0 as the device in the configuration editor, but it didn't seem to work. On the other hand, I'm not sure if I'm properly testing to see that the serial connection has been established (I tried minicom to no avail). Perhaps someone could tell me how to do that as well. Is it possible to simply cat a file to the device on one end and read it on the other? If so, how? Sorry if this is the wrong list to be submitting such a question, but I didn't get a response from the questions list. Perhaps someone here knows more about this.
