Is Refind supporting serial console ?

Hi,
Some industrial computers do not have VGA, but only serial console.
Does Refind support serial console ?

thanks

Yes. Depending on the firmware, you might need to set the textonly option in refind.conf. (If graphics modes are completely unsupported, this shouldn't be necessary; but if the firmware claims to support graphics modes but doesn't, explicitly setting textonly would be necessary.)

That said, this feature is poorly tested. I've used it myself on a handful of systems, but I can't promise it will work with everything.
