serial installation

[Steve Holmes]

I'm sure you could use minicom but you would have to disable any modem
initialization.  Or at least start minicom with a modem in place to
get it up and going but then unplug the modem and hook up the null
modem cable or a cable with a null modem adaptor on it to the computer
you are trying to install on.  Oh, one other thing; be sure your baud
rates match up.  I'll bet most systems when booting from scratch would
probably be going at 9600,n,8,1 and minicom would typically talk to a
modem at 38400 or higher.

Hope this helps.
