To my recollection I did chose the ALIX profile when configuring stuff on the SD. I'll check it again from home. Since the 3D3 has the VGA port, I have confirmed that the grub menu did show up on the VGA port. I am not getting any characters on the serial port. I also went through the settings on the Award BIOS and did not notice anything specific regarding the serial port.
