I've a PC with no keyborad nor screen attached (I can add them when/if
I really need them). But I've a terminal (french 'minitel') connected
to a serial port.
I booted it yesterday with the current lenny kernel.

I did not try the debian installer. Let me know if you want I try
with my setup. But I'm currently unable to see grub prompt on the
serial console : I did not needed it so I did not try to make it
works at all. So I'm not sure at all I can boot the debian-installer
for now (I do not have screen anymore).

Vincent
