            Disable console menu

            Doing so, is correct to say that if any problem happens that cannot be solved remotely (SSH and/or WEB) will have to be solved using COM1 interface ?

            Will the video card also be blocked and the monitor shows nothing at all ?

            If the COM1 interface is not available I think that the only way to recover/solve this eventual problem is to re-install and restore configuration.  Am I correct ?

            IMHO, the pros and cons must be considered when disabling console menu.

            Regards from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
