SS4200-E NAS4Free install to DOM

Instead of installing nas4free embedded to a CF card using a different computer, I'm trying to install from the live USB image right to the DOM using the SS4200E.  The problem is that the live USB image does not have serial output enabled by default, so I don't get any more output after the boot menu.

NAS4Free does boot up to the default IP address of 192.168.1.250, but I don't have a serial connection to start the install of the embedded image.  I'm waiting for a PCI-E 16x to PC-E 1x cable so that I can hook up a video card to the PCI-E 1x slot.  Then I should see the whole boot process and be able to install right from the SS4200-E.

In the meantime, I added another usb stick to the system and configured NAS4Free to use it.  Then I could store the config.xml file on that disk, and hopefully when the usb live image boots, it will see the config.xml file and turn serial output on.

I mounted the usb card, tried to copy the config.xml to there, and tried to make a new conf folder and copy the config.xml there.  None of those worked.

I don't think that the live USB stick is reading a config.xml file from where I had put it.
