+= Kernel-Debugging OS/2 as a !VirtualBox Guest = 
+
+With a Linux host and an OS/2 guest in !VirtualBox, the serial terminal für kernel debugging can be established like this:
+
+== 1st Linux Terminal ==
+
+{{{
+socat UNIX-CONNECT:./os2dbg PTY,link=./os2dbg 
+}}}
+
+where ''os2dbg'' is the name of the host pipe file specified in the serial setup dialog of !VirtualBox.
+
+== 2nd Linux Terminal ==
+
+{{{
+screen -h 400 ./os2dbg
+}}}
+Again, ''os2dbg'' is the name of the pipe/socket specified in the !VirtualBox serial setup dialog.
+
+{{{-h}}} specifies the number of lines for the scrollback buffer (history).
+Scrolling in the terminal window requires to enter scroll mode: {{{Ctrl-a Esc}}}.
+
+Off you go!
