Had not time to test it. I'm running serial console on these toys now.
No problem here.

BTW Beware of the shitty virtual CD/Floppy drives on the server. There
is no way to turn them off from BIOS. Had no luck with hints either.
5.3 fails to boot on them so don't even try it. 5.4 spits out some
warning messages during boot about them but then runs fine. Don't know
about CURRENT.
