Well,
I have managed to get a null modem cable [1], and I have followed some links
[2,3], but really I have not be able to have a console ....
Maybe I'm wrong setting the ttySX of the cable has some problem, or whatever.
But, when grub boots, the box is stopped waiting a key, and after press a key
box boots normal.
I have tested running minicom or gtkterm in another box, but no login or
message showed ..
Thanks for all,
best regards,
Leo
