I'd like to use a serial console with a Dell OptiPlex 7440 PC to capture the output when it fails to boot, but the PC doesn't have a serial port, at least not externally. I wonder if it's somehow possible to use the consdev boot command to direct the serial I/O to pass through a Belkin USB to RS-232 adapter instead of a conventional com port. The install kernel recognises the adapter (although these lines are from when it was plugged into an OptiPlex 990): umct0 at uhub2 port 4 umct0: Belkin USB PDA Adapter Belkin Components, rev 1.10/1.02, addr 4 ucom0 at umct0 Ray
