Serial port redirection (console on serial port)

[yukio]

Hi,

I want to make a server based on an MSI K9N SLI mainboard and for this purpose a serial console is very useful indeed. Now, according to AMIBIOS ROM Utilities User Guide, BIOS module ID "2F" is reserved for a "Serial Redirection" module. I assume this is what I want. I've tried opening the BIOS in MMTOOL and it does not contain a module with ID 2F. Is getting a serial console on this mainboard just a matter of adding the right module to the BIOS or is there more to it?

Any and all advise (and BIOS mods ) greatly appreciated! Thanks.
