Sorry, this was probably me not being clear enough again... On the new loader screen before booting, there is a box of menu options. 1-4 are Boot Multi, Boot Single, Escape to loader, Reboot. Option 5 is labelled "Configure Boot Options...". Selecting it brings me into a submenu. It looks like I will have to go back to the "Main Menu" to boot, but I really only need to press enter to boot. I found this only by hitting enter accidentally. :-) In that same submenu, the console type and verbose boot are selectable. However, the speed for a serial console isn't. That's not too much of a problem, but it would be nice. I haven't managed to set up the installed system with a proper BIOS-redirected console -- in GRUB, I would use -v -B console=ttya,ttya-mode="115200,8,n,1,-" on the kernel line in the menu. So I guess I need to start looking for the doc that goes with the loader... But all that doesn't have that much to do with kayak-for-iso, it's more a question of configuring the new loader. The installation itself went absolutely fine. Regards -- Volker -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Volker A.
