It's probably safe to assume x86 arch if not explicitly mentioned,
which complicates matters for a serial install as there's no BIOS level
access via a serial connection.
I don't know if serial console is enabled on the boot kernel. It isn't
in the default runtime kernel for x86 though, often wondered about
that.
