Output to serial terminal
Posted: Thu Jan 16, 2003 9:03 pm
Is there some way to make the BIOS output it's POST messages to a serial terminal? Say a VT52 or VT100? Also is it possible to get into the BIOS setup through such a terminal?
Has someone considered a hack to do this?
This would of course be for the benefit of using a headless Linux or Unix server.
I am really not a programmer and I don't know if this is difficult or easy to achieve? Alternatively some sort of virtual display through the ethernet card could possibly do the trick ssh way?
