Seems OK to me apart from f3.txt.with26: see attached patch
The number of lines on a serial console depends on the console. We could
perhaps add an extra line making it 24 lines for a serial console but
probably best to leave alone for now as serial output is OK.
NB: I have only tested the netboot with serial console for this patch. I
have not tested the vga console.

If unsure, you should use the default boot method, with no special
parameters, by simply pressing enter at the boot prompt.
