Yes, I think so...

Indeed, especially at the moment without a suitable monitor at the data
center. I plan to get one there when I'm visiting my parents the next time.

Would be nice to have, yes, but it's difficult to use when there's a
non-booting kernel and you can't change the commandline remotely to boot
another kernel. ;)
A real Amiga bootloader with serial console would be really great for this!

Well, when the consoles are up you can use the normal serial console as
well. I don't know what's the difference when you set debug=ser without
looking it up...
Anyway, it would be nice to have a serial console (system messages during
boot) as soon as possible and we should setup at least Crest as well for
using such a serial console. Due to it's VGA output and the FlickerFixer,
Kullervo don't need this as urgent as Crest and Elgar, IMHO...
