That should work. The boot loader remembers its settings and can
boot with serial console (that is what I do). But you can't boot other
kernels (if you break something) unless you have display/keyboard working.

The current (MacOS) booter needs changes for the 660AV to stop the DMA
machine after loading the kernel and before jumping to it.
