[PATCH v4 04/10] tests/vm: add --boot-console switch

There is a newer version of this series
[PATCH v4 04/10] tests/vm: add --boot-console switch
Posted by Robert Foley 5 years, 8 months ago 
Added ability to view console during boot via
--boot-console switch to basevm.py.  This helps debug issues that occur
during the boot sequence.
Also added a new special variable to vm-build:
BOOT_CONSOLE=1 will cause this new --boot-console switch to be set.

Hmm why isn't this output covered by DEBUG=1? I'm wary of adding another
debug knob rather than just including the extra information under our
existing DEBUG output.

This is a good point.  I will add this support under DEBUG=1.
