Using USB serial would require enumeration of the serial bus then selection of the appropriate protocol (there's at least a dozen competing standards for USB serial) based on the VID/PID. Not trivial to do in the early boot phase. I don't know of many operating systems that can do this. -- Stuart Longland (aka Redhatter, VK4MSL) I haven't lost my mind... ...it's backed up on a tape somewhere.
