I've untarred the hardhat distr. on my linux machine and that's the
machine that plays nfs server for the
challenge.

Should the default kernel support serial terminal consoles?? My goal is
to install linux onto the challenge
(which is headless) using a serial terminal connected to it, is this
possible by default or should i cross-compile my own kernel on another
