I'm sorry.  I meant console under X11 (Gnome) as opposed to
across a VNC session.  I am an old UNIX type and think of
console as just being in front of the machine.  I forget that
means something different on Linux with the console usually
meaning not under X.

This is the last part of
strace  qemu -fda grub144 -boot a -nographic

munmap(0xf5c000, 72775)                 = 0
open("/etc/host.conf", O_RDONLY)        = 3
fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=17, ...}) = 0
old_mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, 
-1, 0) = 0x111000
read(3, "order hosts,bind\n", 4096)     = 17
read(3, "", 4096)                       = 0
close(3)                                = 0
munmap(0x111000, 4096)                  = 0
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---

Seems weird.
