Yes, it does.  The VSBC-8 is an EBX form factor, with standard ports, so
I've been using a monitor with it.  I'm not using a serial console, if
that's what you mean by "messages are not currently routed to the serial
port".

So it the DOC stuff really enabled in my grub?  What might be the problem?

Thanks,

Matt
