Hi all
I just stumbled over the grub mailing list archive and noticed that there was
some talk about supporting the serial line for controlling grub. This would be
great !
The last message I read on this topic mentioned that there should be some way to
detect if a video adapter is available. This is would be nice, but it is not
necessary. At the moment I am working on a bootable CD that should be fully
administerable over the serial line (additionally to the normal console) and I
found out what syslinux does: When the serial directive is given in it's config
file, it just writes the boot message to BOTH the console and the serial port.
It also accepts input from BOTH sources, so there is absolutely no problem with
deciding which one should be used. Just do both. It works very well for me.
PS: If you have any questions, then please contact me directly, I am not
subscribed to this list.
Just my 2 cents,
Rene
