      Hello!

      I activated the serial console at [System] [Advanced]

      This will enable the first serial port with 9600/8/N/1
      Note: This will disable the internal video card/keyboard

      But I couldn't comunicate using COM1. I needed to reboot.

      Version 1.2.3-RC2

        That is normal. The console options are only able to be set upon reboot.
