Tom Fitzhenry 9d92c9d0a7 iso-image: add 'serial console' boot entry ... Prior to this commit, installation over serial console would requiring manually having to modify the kernel modeline, as described in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/58198 . This is unnecessarily fiddly, so this commit adds a syslinux boot entry that has serial enabled. GRUB already has a serial console entry: 2c07a0800a/nixos/modules/installer/cd-dvd/iso-image.nix (L311-L317) Why 115200 bps? This is already used in other places, e.g. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/58196 I tested this change by building the image, booting the image, and observing the boot process over serial: $ cd nixos/ $ nix-build -A config.system.build.isoImage -I nixos-config=modules/installer/cd-dvd/installation-cd-minimal.nix default.nix $ sudo cp /nix/store/arcl702c3z8xlndlvnfplq9yhixjvs9k-nixos-20.09pre-git-x86_64-linux.iso/iso/nixos-20.09pre-git-x86_64-linux.iso /dev/sdb $ picocom -b 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0		2020-12-22 16:16:15 +08:00
