Does it use at least i386 (like Intel Atom)? I'm wondering if that lack of need for graphics is also in place for amd64.

Can you tell me what processor you were using? Also, did you use a graphics card for installation and initial configuration before activating the serial console? For both (and anyone else who'd like to join), if I choose "com0" as "tty" as the link Greg sent says, would I need to actually use it? I have the pins on the motherboard but not even a serial port card connected to them. As I said, I was planning to use ssh for the console. Thank you both again.
