Normally, QEMU uses SDL to display the VGA output. With this option,
you can totally disable graphical output so that QEMU is a simple
command line application. The emulated serial port is redirected on
the console and muxed with the monitor (unless redirected elsewhere
explicitly). Therefore, you can still use QEMU to debug a Linux kernel
with a serial console. Use @key{C-a h} for help on switching between
the console and monitor.
