I didn't install it on this machine, but have an old notebook, which also 
runs BeOS and I used to build on BeOS and install from BeOS. However this 
notebook is rather slow and since the desktop happend to end up in my hand I 
would love to use the desktop.

Actual installation on the desktop HDD was done by the build system from an 
Ubuntu install with the install-haiku target.

The image on the USB stick is a dd from a haiku-image build done on BeOS.

Nope, noe serial port ;-( neither on the desktop nor on the notebook. Unless 
I missed something and serial output is available over usb, no ...
