Serial is simple if you have a mainboard with one.

Boot the USB installer and stop the countdown. Connect a serial (e.g. USB)
cable to another machine and open a terminal there. Use e.g. 115200 8n1 as
settings and enable logging.

Now on the console of the booting machine enter something like:

  consdev com0,115200

and you should see the boot loader prompt show up on the serial terminal.
Enter

   boot

there and the installer will talk to you over the serial console.
