Install using serial console port

I have an old linux box with no VGA/graphical interface. The only available console is a serial port - default 9600.

Previously I have installed UTM9 from CD on an old PC without any issues, but doing the same on this hardware with no VGA is a challenge. Basically, after BIOS/POST, it begins reading the CD-ROM drive and after a while stops without displaying anything to the serial port.

Has anyone done anything like this? Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
J

Hi,
See

That was written by an Astaro wizard.

Note that if the hardware is too old, IPS and A/V performance will suffer.
You also need 1GB+ RAM to run recent versions.
