I am still not able to get the kernel to successfully boot to an install using the OYOK functionality. I would like to capture the kernel boot errors I am seeing but I need to tell the systemimager boot kernel to use the serial tty for console messages. Where would I pass that command line option within the systemimager pxe booted kernel infrastructure?
