#91 headless installation - display console menu in serial console of live image

[Andreas Baumgärtner]

Hi,

booting from LiveUSB, console menu is not displayed via serial console. headless installation was not possible for me (screenshot attached).

workaround: adding a graphics card

set these options in boot loader prompt:

set boot_multicons="YES"
set boot_serial="YES"
set comconsole_port="0x3f8"
set comconsole_speed="115200"
set console="comconsole,vidconsole"
set hw.uart.console="io:0x3f8,br:115200" # https://sourceforge.net/p/xigmanas/bugs/355/#baf6

menu is visible on attached display but not in serial terminal.

it would be great to have headless installation available from the live images, maybe even selectable as option in the boot loader

thanks,
Andreas
