It's not quite that simple. To do that, I have to block out time to

Paul, you should arrange with your colocation provider to get an out of
band serial connection to the system, and configure the console to go to
the serial port. We provide that for free at $EMPLOYER and most other
places I know of do it for free or nominal charge.
I was not aware of that. Thanks for the suggestion.
