BIOS Configuration
* enable USB support and Legacy USB support, so we can use USB keyboards * ignore POST errors (especially keyboard, floppy, etc) * set "Power loss" mode to "Stay on" * enable BIOS console redirection if available: * COM1 (COM A) * Speed: 9600 baud * Console type: VT100, 8bit * Flow control: none * Connection type: direct connection * Continue redirection after boot: yet (sometimes also called "Run Agent after boot")
We can accommodate different speeds for serial console; above are default settings.
