If the images wouldn't change, what would you expect from grub-setup? > Serial console works at 38400 (others untested). > > Though, reprinting the screen / drawing characters is pretty slow, This part requires some optimization. I guess the current implementation of the menu interface is not very friendly to a serial terminal. > backspace does not work (using picocom). As far as I see the code, there is no reason that backspace doesn't work...
