The general way is to power off, unplug (or plug in if not plugged in)
the mouse or keyboard, and power on again. The firmware should detect
the configuration change and prompt on all detected consoles (serial,
GUI) which one to use. Press the number requested and enter on the
graphics console when prompted.....
