It will be nice to have a easy way to install and Work over Serial for Devices without a Monitor.

The Problem in 1.2.x is the HowTo on The Wiki for 1.1.7 don't Work for 1.2.x

-> https://wiki.vyos.net/wiki/Network_appliances#Installation_for_Version_1.1.7_not_for_1.2.x

I tried to found a way but run in many Problems.

Best Regards

What's the problem @sokrates ?

I run it on a APU2 since almost a year and used rs232 for the installation as well as I use it from time to time when necessary or just enjoying the boot messages.

My serial interface don't show me the Boot after fast grub ( i am not able to see the menu only a line with a timer ) and i have no shell after boot, only ssh on the default image 1.2.0.rc7
the image i used to install ( 1.1.8 ) works after i build a new iso following the guide on the wiki
but it is the stable version.

i am doing anything wrong ?

What are the parameters you connect on rs232? Have you tried to switch to 115200 baud after grub started?

Yes i have test this case -> 115200n8

@sokrates Can you please test with the latest rolling release?

@hagbard yes i am sorry for being late i am sick in the bed ... i hope to have time for this on weekend

@sokrates No problem at all, whenever you have time.

So i have test it and ... hmm the Problem is that the grub menu is ripped apart.

I found out that the arrow keys make lines visible and it works for me now.

hmm ...

best

and thanks for the help hagbard ...
