I figured as such, but since the commented pointed at /dev/pts I thought
it best to ask.

Should arguments to the kernel to be fully virtualized be specified
here:

kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"

i.e.

/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader console=ttys0 [ ... ]

Or, I noticed that pretty much everything you'd need to pass to the
kernel is able to be specified somewhere in the guest config, so in
essence the serial="" line just refers to where to setup the other end
on the guest?

Sorry to seem so redundant, I'm just really hoping to understand prior
to doing so I don't have to send someone to the un-manned DC to reboot
the server :) This is something that could easily break.
