Serial Port install mods

Hi all,

I'm trying to modify the latest install Software install image (asg-9.306-6.1.iso) in order to get a fully serial port aware install experience.

To isolinux part is okay, i'm getting all the serial outputs on COM1.

The next step in the install is to load the initramfs file which contains all the needed binaries and such in order to conduct the install properly.
Here is my problem, the /etc/inittab from the ramfs is invoking the installer executable through the use of "openvt" aka "virtual console" aka "virtual terminal".

here is the ramfs inittab file:

# inittab
# Copyright (c) 2009, 2010 Astaro AG

# default runlevel
id:1:initdefault:

si::sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS

# virtual consoles
1:1[:$]nce:/bin/openvt -c 1 -w -- /bin/bootstrap --install
2:1:respawn:/bin/openvt -c 2 -w -- /bin/bash
4:1:respawn:/bin/openvt -c 4 -w -- /usr/lib/bootstrap/view-log

ca::ctrlaltdel:/etc/init.d/rc.0


Does anyone knows if there are any ways to route these VT to ttyS0 or else if i can migrate these openvt calls to mingetty/mgetty/agetty..

Thanks for any help,
regards,
m.
