Just out of curiousity, does anyone know if this is a feature that most
motherboards have, of primarily SBCs? I ask because I have a Linux server
that I don't have a video card for. If something goes wrong with the boot
(or the ethernet connection), I have to power it down and borrow a video
card from another machine to do any troubleshooting.
