You may also want to enable fragment "core/yocto/root-login-with-empty-password". And if you want the guest machine console redirected to your current terminal, then append "serial" to runqemu arguments. So your final command will look like -> runqemu core-image-minimal snapshot serial Hope that helps. cheers Ankur > Cheers, > > Richard
