| mcr | Is there a simple way to change the netinst iso boot images so that they boot from a serial console? | 00:19 |

| gnarface | good question, not sure, but if you can find the kernel command-line and edit it, you might just need to add one parameter | 00:22 |
| mcr | yes, if plug in a keyboard/monitor/etc. yes, on can usually override the grub cmd line. (That doesn't seem to work anymore though) | 00:34 |
| gnarface | hmm, fsmithred, do you know about this? ^ | 00:45 |
| fsmithred | I've never used serial console. Check directions for installing debian that way. If that doesn't work, I guess we need to ask rrq if he knows how to do it. | 00:50 |
| rrq | isn't that just to add "console=ttyS0" to the boot line? and maybe also remove the vga parameter | 00:57 |
| Xenguy | I think mcr missed the last 3 comments | 01:01 |
| gnarface | mcr: they're saying it should work. what cmdline parameter did you use? | 02:15 |
| mcr | Xenguy, I did in fact miss the comments. I have been able to hit tab to override the cmdline, but it hasn't worked with Chimera... although I question the quality of the keyboard :-) | 22:40 |
| mcr | the goal here is that I don't have to plug a keyboard/monitor into the system at all. | 22:40 |
| mcr | I'm building a new PXE boot environment now, since that let's me adjust the boot parameters easier anyway. | 22:41 |
