I've got a spare i386 machine at present so tried installing the
recent 1.5ZC snapshot using sysinst. All went fine until we got to
installing boot blocks. It asked if I wanted normal or serial boot
blocks. Yay! serial bootblocks cool yes please...
Oops not supported on i386, and we drop out of sysinst.
BTW I recall a thread out there a long time ago in which someone
mentioned having i386 bootblocks that did serial or keyboard.
That would be nice. I'd like to run this box with a serial console
for now and eventually put a head on it.
Thanks
