+Accessing UML Consoles
+----------------------
+
+During the boot process, User Mode Linux should report a number of lines of
+the following form:
+
+Virtual console 1 assigned device '/dev/pts/3'
+
+This indicates that to access console 1, the given device should be accessed.
+This can be done using the screen command as follows:
+
+screen /dev/pts/3
+
+You may need to press Return/Enter to "wake up" the console in order to see a
+login prompt.
