Hi Michael I'm no expert but are you on a monitor or console. If the latter it is possible that you need to set the Supermicro setup to redirect the first serial port. Alternatively I believe you can reconfigure the netboot configuration for serial configuration. Recent Supermicros have a handy HTML5 console view available via the BMC which should allow you to connect to both a redirected virtual screen or serial console (where the latter is typically serial 2, I believe).
