<s>Recently donated was a mostly dead Toshiba lappy (dead drives, dead screen) which has a serial port.</s> This is now redundant as I have the same terminal working with a usb to serial adaptor. We can hook the serial terminal up to any computer run something like "exec /sbin/getty -L 56700 ttyUSB0" from /etc/init/ttyUSB0.conf. I would suggest the doorbot because that is always running. <s>It's now booting Ubuntu over PXE successfully.
