In essence, all you need are two bootloaders:
boot: This one should utilize the video display, and if there is no keyb=
oard
attached, fall back to serial.
boot_com: Serial only. (to force serial port regardless of keyboard)
How you get the video to work isn't very important, only that it does. Y=

don't need another bootloader with some other method of making the video =

If you have multiple ways to make the video work, make boot try to guess =
the
right one and use it.
