+* set up infrastructure

+The netboot image for debian is already around.  You need
+
+wget http://centerclick.org/net4801/pxelinux/pxelinux.0.gz
+
+as opposed to the pxelinux.bin that's already around.  You need to
+make a link in pxelinux.cfg to an appropriate pxelinux configuration
+file, namely the one for serial.  To the end of the 'insall' image you
+want to add:
+
+DEBIAN_FRONTEND=text
+
+(we did this, so it's probably already there.)
+
+Minicom should be set for 9600 baud, 8 databits, no parity, 1 stop
+bit, no flow control.  Turn hardware flow control off in minicom.  The
+UNIX device for talking to the console is almost certainly /dev/ttyS0.
+
+* configure the Soekris net4801 BIOS
+
+Look at the banner from when the net4801 boots.  Get the BIOS version
+and check it against the Soekris web site.
+
+Set the date and time.

+set ConSpeed=9600
