As the graphics are dead, I cant do a normal install. As it doesn't
have a serial port, I cant control the install that way, so I wanted
to use debian-installer's network-console.


I've never done a net install.

Is there no way to use a USB-Serial converter as the console? The
Remote-Serial-Console-HOWTO tells us how. Since I assume that the
installer can handle a USB keyboard, wouldn't a USB-Serial console work
too?
