That's unrelated. -P only does a very simple check to see if a keyboard is present. Many systems with only USB keyboards would fail the check and end up sending their output to the serial console. We could use -D though, that would let the user break into the loader and adjust console (or use boot -h) to force sysinstall to use the serial console. -- John Baldwin
