Dell and most others use the convention
ESC 1 -> F1 .. ESC 9 -> F9
ESC 0 -> F10
ESC ! ->
So as mentioned elsewhere in response to some weirdness with 32-bit i386
builds not working as well as 64-bit amd64 builds, I installed the stock
9.0 i386 release on my old Dell PE2650 server.
I use a serial console on this machine, but the VGA and USB are
connected to a USB Keyboard/Video/Mouse
