I'm not sure if I can do this because I've tried a couple of times 
but nothing comes out of the serial console. Perhaps a wrong baud rate setting? 
I set it to 96bps and 8-N-1 back then. Is that correct?

I recall that pressing Alt+F2 during the installation would open-up 
another console, full with log messages. Would that be enough?
