Enabling Console redirection for Install

[Guest]

Is it possible to modify the kernel append to change the console to ttyS0 so that installation is possilbe on a system that has no video?

Also is it possible to install Endian through PXE, in case a CDROM is not possible for use with a system?

Either of these are possible with linux, just google them.

here is what i found:

I appreciate the reply from the user above, however, this doesn't help regarding the specific options that would be appended to the kernel line in the PXE configuration. Specifically i'm curious about how the installer application will find the needed package files to install. Typical methods are FTP, HTTP, NFS, Local Disk, and CD. RHEL's installer, Anaconda has these options and presents them to the user when the CD option is not available.
