Hi, I've come across an interesting problem with grub and grub2 booting with only a serial console: they won't finish booting if they don't have anything plugged into the serial port. The moment a serial cable is inserted, they throw up a menu and continues booting.
The board boots fine with the extlinux variant of syslinux with nothing attached to the serial port. I have a Soekris net5501 board, which I'm trying to set up to be a DSL firewall router box. There is no video hardware, and there won't normally be anything plugged into the serial port.
