In-Machine Terminal never lets you type in commands #8

This problem occurs when trying to boot a RaspiOS .img. It did not occur when booting a Raspbian .img.

Expected behavior:

Initial suspicion was that vdesktop's /etc/profile was interfering. But disabling this function during testing made no difference.

Until this is fixed, if you need to run commands in the guest, it looks like the best option is to run your commands in the vdesktop console. (the host's terminal containing the boot text)

Turns out it had to do with /dev/pts and /dev/ptmx mountpoints. Removing these mountpoints fixes this issue. See commit c3fe06ef3a3276c43c44dced54633d819079fdf2
