Hi, I hear rumours that if a machine has no video card, (sarge) debian-installer will try to open a serial console.
I want to install on a mini-itx box with no monitor, but it's got a graphic card on-board that can't be disabled. Is there a way to have it start d-i on a serial console (say, not plug in a keyboard a la Sparc?). Even some set of commands to type in blind would help. Assuming I need to pass the kernel some custom CLI options, other strategies I can think of are: * boot floppy ( it's got no floppy drive either) * custom CD (when I asked about custom install CDs recently I got no answer) * boot d-i over PXElinux (an option? Bit cumbersome just for a serial console) Anyone know which are goers? Thanks in advance. -- Rasputin :: Jack of All Trades - Master of Nuns
