Hmmm, although having the option to have a serial console during boot & installation is always a plus, it’s not very user-friendly for beginners that want to install Debian on their Amigas and are then faced with the issue to connect via serial console.
Especially on Amigas with CIAs soldered can become a real issue when a wrong serial cable will be used.
So the preferred option should always be to not depend on additional hardware such as serial consoles.
