Is it possible to install using only a serial console?

I didn't think so, so thought I might roll my own 5.4 cd
to enable that. Is there anything else that needs doing about from

echo '-h' >> /wherever/release/got/built/boot.config

(or possibly '-P' to do serial if there's no keyboard attached)

Thanks!
