==== Serial Console ====
The BIOS is available on the serial console port at the front with 9600 baud.

You can use it with 115200 baud on Linux with the kernel boot option:

<code>
console=ttyS0,115200n8
</code>
===== Booting =====

You can just plug in a live ISO to the front USB port and it boots from it.
