Almost. I'd like to interact with a console, ideally right after booting. I don't need vnc access to the boot messages before the kernel is up --- there is some console for that. But the cosole is not char based but line or block oriented (both exist). Now I'm investigating how to get access to a char or even better graphics based virtual console. This is where vnc came to my mind. > If your hardware happens to be Compaq-server, have a look at Compaq > Remote Interface Board.
