     Yes. In order to make the serial port (the 9-pin connector, which BTW
   uses a DEC pinout and not the PC pinout) the primary console, you'll
   need to disable the video board. The easiest way is to just take it out
   (you'll probably need to rearrange cards to maintain bus continuity).

I assume that if I can get a monitor I can use the serial port with a
terminal without disabling the graphic subsystem?

Also, does anyone have the "DEC" pinout scheme?

     I think the machine is sitting there waiting for you to respond to a
   question about national language which is displayed on the (missing)
   monitor.

I hope so.  At least I hope I can make it work one way or the other...
