I have some servers with IPMI that allow me to have a serial console. I have setup a serial console config on my servers and it seems to work reasonably well in remote emergencies, but causes serious problems if I ever have to use the real console.

It means that I can't use single user mode from the real console and I can't see most boot errors.

Is there a way I can turn off the console redirection from the physical console interactively on startup?

We put -P in /boot.config so that if a keyboard is detected then the screen is the console. No keyboard means serial console.

This server does not have a ps2 port (USB only). Is there any other way?

It's quite a pain to have to boot off an install disk and rename the boot.config file if I need to get into single user mode. Especially since this server takes about 5 minutes to POST.
