Hello, If you can edit a bootdisk under another Linux system, you can add the necessary console line to the syslinux.cfg file, that should enable you to put the disk in, and boot it without any keyboard or monitor and you should get serial output. If not let me know and i'll send you a disk modified for terminal use.
