Headless Installation
Hi all !
I just tried to install potato onto an Intel isp1100 19" server.
This servers do not have a VGA card so I have to install it redirecting
the console to the serial port.
BUT
I was used to append the following lines to my lilo prompt to redirect
kernel messages to ttyS0 while startup:
serial=0,9600n8 console=ttyS0,9600
but the Debian install/resccue disks/cds stop loading after a while.
Any suggestions how to install servers without VGA cards ?
Do I need to replace the Kernel on the bootdisks/cds ?
any help welcome :-)
Florian!
PS: do I need to start a getty on ttyS0 to make use of the console (as I
do at the moment), or is there another need option to directly control
the server via a serial interface ?
