Subject: Headless installer boot
Hi Team,
Just a quick question I wish to use serial port as console to install servers. I’m not familiar with grub etc as I’ve only ever used palo. Could someone point me in the right direction as to implement console=/dev/ttys0, for the AMD64 port and I386. I assume it would be a change when building the install media.
I also use a DB9 Serial Rs232 cable to install Debian 9.3 amd64.
I just grab the iso from debian.org and it does not need any
modification.
If you use console mode during installation it will also be properly set
up when Debian is installed (no need to mess with grub...).
The only parameter I need to pass to the kernel is:
console=ttyS0,115200n8
Note that it is 'console=ttyS0' and not 'console=/dev/ttyS0'.
Just in case you get the following (Don't use 'vga=*' to skip that part):
"Undefined video mode number: 314
Press <ENTER> to see video modes available, <SPACE> to continue, or wait
30 sec"
Simply press the <SPACE> bar or wait 30 sec.
See '5.3.1. Boot console' on the following page:
