How to enable serial out for minux running on qemu?

[Ramachandra Pai]

All,

I am currently running Minix on Qemu and i am trying to get all the kernel logs on my terminal on the host machie. There is an wiki page(http://wiki.minix3.org/doku.php?id=developersguide:serialout ) which explains to do exactly that.  I followed all the steps mentioned here.

In one of the last steps it mentions to build  libraries palced in "/usr/src/sys": 

When i do "make clean install" . I get the following error 

install ===> arch/i386/stand/mbr

install ===> arch/i386/stand/mbr/mbr

    install  /usr/mdec/mbr

install: mbr: stat: No such file or directory

*** Error code 1

Stop.

make[5]: stopped in /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/stand/mbr/mbr

*** Error code 1

Stop.

make[4]: stopped in /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/stand/mbr

*** Error code 1

Stop.

make[3]: stopped in /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/stand

*** Error code 1

Stop.

make[2]: stopped in /usr/src/sys/arch/i386

*** Error code 1

Stop.

make[1]: stopped in /usr/src/sys/arch

*** Error code 1

Stop.

make: stopped in /usr/src/sys .

Can anyone please tell me what am i missing here?

The instructions were there to ensure that you have a sufficiently recent boot loader. As of MINIX 3.3.0 this is always the case. Moreover, the instructions themselves were outdated, as you found out the hard way. So, I've just removed that part of the instructions from the wiki page altogether.
