As soon as the colinux-daemon is running, the Linux machine boots.

The attachable console is therefore *optional*. Detaching it doesn't
stop the daemon from running.

The current run directory of the daemon needs to be the directory
that contains default.colinux.xml, otherwise the daemon finds no
configuration file and exits.
