 The machine doesn't have a serial port.
 
 Oddly, the BIOS goes through PERC BIOS setup and then sits and doesn't 
 autoboot: F7 to get the boot list gives me a sane list and then I can 
 just pres return to boot from sata0 (which happens to be an SSD).
 
 Then the Beastie menu starts up etc - but at this point the USB keyboard 
 ISN'T working.
 
 The countdown timeout triggers OK, and then we boot up OK from the SATA 
 drives.
 
 Can I get the boot -v dmesg captured by editing loader.4th (or similar)?
