To add serial access to your vm, with Debian/Ubuntu apt-get install libguestfs-tools.
Then with vm shutdown, execute the following:
root:~# guestmount -d vmname -i /mnt
root:~# ln -s /mnt/lib/systemd/system/getty@.service /mnt/etc/systemd/system
/getty.target.wants/getty@ttyS0.service
root:~# umount /mnt
Reboot your vm and you should have serial console access.
