[SOLVED] installation on terminal (with no video) tty only

my computer has no video, and no way to install (embedded, only GPIO, USB, Ethernet, TTY, intel atom 2 core / 2Gb, SD)
i'm connected on tty 115200
I have bootable archlinux usb, and it works in "normal" condition

but with no VGA...

how to skip graphic mode, boot and continue to install?

My result

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

Re: [SOLVED] installation on terminal (with no video) tty only

Thanks to all

I have boot linux with
options root=/dev/sda2 rw console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty0

It helps me to get all console messages to the ttyS0 (COM1)
Have connect my laptop with usb-2-serial with COM1
have check the name of converter/port with
$ ls -ltr /dev/*usb* (my case it was /dev/tty.usbserial-FTBT5VV7)

than i have use terminal on my laptop
$ screen screen /dev/tty.usbserial-FTBT5VV7 115200
