After setting the console path to serialA, boot from the CD/DVD. Just for the record - this is what my C8000 shows in the "Main Menu": Duplex Console IO Dependent Code (IODC) revision 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (c) Copyright 1995-2004, Hewlett-Packard Company, All rights reserved ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Processor Speed State CoProcessor Cache Size Number State Inst Data --------- -------- --------------------- ----------------- ------------ 0 900 MHz Active Functional 32 MB/32 MB 1 900 MHz Idle Functional 32 MB/32 MB Central Bus Speed (in MHz) : 200 Available Memory : 8388608 KB Good Memory Required : Not initialized.

WARNING: No usable graphics console was found on this system. It may be that no graphics card is present, the graphics card is not functioning properly, or no USB keyboard is connected. The console has defaulted to a serial port. If you choose "serial_A" as console path it should work (I don't use the graphics card either).
