It's difficult to put this in the config, as it has to be known at a  
very early stage during boot, but I'll consider making two generic-pc  
images; one with serial console, and one with VGA. It's a shame that  
the boot loader's keyboard presence detection doesn't work properly  
for some USB keyboards/BIOSes, otherwise it could be all automatic.
