Thanks for the fast answer!

By "/path/to/litmus-rt.img" are you referring to the img file provided in
https://wiki.litmus-rt.org/litmus/VirtualMachineImages? I was expecting to
be able to use an "empty" file (I just created it using aqema and put an
Ubuntu inside it -- just to be sure there was a well formatted file system
inside).

Also, thanks for sharing the command line: finally I found a way to
redirect the output to my "real" console :-)
