Well, anything is possible, but we've had real trouble with accelerators

could always try to boot a kernel (just download the Booter, a kernel, and

No, (well, I doubt it, anyway).  I beleive that's a hardware limitation of
the serial chips.

You could always get a copy of Zterm and use it as a serial terminal on
the MkLinux machine...
