HowTo about some stuff

[Igor V. Ruzanov]

Hi, Adam!

Now the "health" of my L4-system is OK and i'm running a series of tests 
for checking of stress stability of L4Linux.
But i would like to ask you the following questions:

1)Currently i start only one instance, but how can i switch between 1-st 
console (hypervisor cmd line) and 2-nd console (where L4Linux is running)? 
I tried to send Shift+F1 in order to switch to 1-st console but it didn't 
work.

2)How does reboot process of L4Linux look like? When i'm saing 'reboot' 
to the L4Linux, then its going into 6-th runlevel, shutting down all 
running processes and i'm dropping to 1-st console automatically forever.
My log (its last part) shows:

during running instance:
[...]

l4lx    | Loading: drops-l4.img

l4lx    | l4lx_irq_dev_startup_hw: Starting IRQ thread for IRQ 10.
l4lx    | l4lx_thread_create: Created thread 0f.0b (IRQ10)

and then when i entered 'reboot':
l4lx    | Terminating L4Linux.
simplets| Exit F.02
con     | switch_vc(): switch to vc 01
con     | background_vc(): exception 2.2 sending background event to F.07

Is it possible the instance was automatically rebooted after reboot 
command?

3)And when i stay in the 1-st console (hypervisor itself), my keyboard 
doesn't respond - is that because of absence of some options of fiasco 
module in my config file?
