There's no need to recompile anything; the third-stage loader will automatically use the serial console if the second-stage loader does (i.e. /boot.config contains -h). The reason why there are two versions of the first-stage loader is that space constraints preclude supporting both VGA and serial in the same code. The second- and third-stage loaders have no such constraints. DES --=20 Dag-Erling Sm=F8rgrav - des@des.no
