naturally, he won't be able to "see" anything on that terminal, until
linux boots the kernel (e.g. no bios output+setup, no lilo prompt).
this means he also won't be able to manage the system locally - for any
boot failure he'll have to mess with hardware.
do you actually use this solution for a critical machine?
