Hello,
Will you be enabling installation with only a serial console attached
to the machine?
I am talking about no keyboard and monitor, just a serial terminal.
This is basic unix functionality that is easily enabled.
Thank you.

Following http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Modify/CD
mkdir unpack
bsdtar -C unpack -xf debian-6.0.1a-amd64-netinst.iso [if doing it with
mount -o loop, don't miss .disk dir]
vi unpack/isolinux/isolinux.cfg [timeout 5]
vi unpack/isolinux/txt.cfg [add console=ttyS0,9600n8 to append line]
chmod +w unpack/isolinux/isolinux.bin
genisoimage -o debian-6.0.1a-amd64-netinst-plettserial.iso -r -J
-no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -b
isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat ./unpack

I was using an amd64-netinst CD, but it should work with any CD that
uses isolinux (i386 or amd64).
