Serial console installs are great, when you actually have a real hardware port using IRQs 3 or 4, port addresses 2F8 or 3F8. I'm trying to get a PCMCIA serial port working for a serial install, and it works fine with brltty but not with redirecting the console, and it won't work with speakup of course. --Debee
