Hi Naaaa,

If you want to configure in serial or VGA console mode.

Step 1.
Boot to the EFI Boot Manager Menu.
Use ^ and v to change option(s). Use Enter to select an option

Step 2.
Select : Boot Configuration

Step 3.
Select : Console Configuration

Step 4.
Select : Select Input Console

Step 5.

To select the serial console chose :
Acpi(HWP0002,0)/Pci(1|1)/Uart(9600 N81)/VenMsg(Vt100+)

* NOTE * This example is for an rx4640, the hardware paths will differ depending
on the hardware platform.
Some systems have multiple serial ports available depending on the Management
Port (MP) card.
Select the device that has vt100+ in the description, do not assume that the
first device is the correct one.

For VGA / USB keyboard/mouse on the rx4640 :

Acpi(HWP0002,0)/Pci(4|0)
