Both krunfw + virtio-blk and external kernel (with support) + virtio-fs are valid scenarios, so reduce the amount of code
Confirm kernel is running when console doesn't work To test: ./chroot_vm --kernel-cmdline='"console=com root=ld0a"' --loglevel=7 --kernel-format=1 --kernel /tmp/netbsd-SMOL --boot-disk /tmp/rescue-amd64-ro.img

Do you want us to start reviewing this PR or do you prefer us to wait for the clean up? |

I'm okay with you reviewing it currently. What's left: propagate Linux/PVH boot mode switch to all these places, fix and extend tests |

Hi @dsseng, is this still being worked on at all? If not, should I close it? |

It's not being actively worked on at the moment, however it is working code and needs to have config and tests added. Perhaps this needs to be put on hold, may be closed I guess (will reopen once work on it resumes) |
