Hi all I would like to install Debian on a headless board using a USB drive. The board has a serial port and I would like to use that to install Debian 10 using netinst.
It is an APU board [1]. I found a guide [2] on how to install Debian 9. Unfortunately I get stuck at step 4 where the installer should be configured to use the serial console: "Press H, enter the following parameters and press Enter." `install console=ttyS0,115200n8` I can see the board's BIOS and select the USB installation media. But the Debian installer only prints "ISOLINUX 6.04 20190226 EHDD" Pressing H and typing the install command does not enable the serial console of the installer. From the LED of the USB drive I can see that is reacts to keyboard inputs (e.g. when pressing enter), so the installer is loaded. But no output is printed on the terminal console. Is there an easy way to enable the console which I just don't know how to do? Even with Debian 9 (which was used in the guide [2]) I cannot see the "Debian GNU/Linux installer boot menu". How can I enable the serial console on the Debian installer?
