serial boot - USB-to-FTDI adaptor - MultibootNewb - 04-08-2023

Hi

I'm trying to get Ventoy working over serial using this FTDI USB-TO-Serial adaptor but it's not working.

My laptop does not have a built in serial port, so a USB adaptor is my only option.

I tried adding:

Code:
{
    "theme": {     
        "display_mode": "serial_console",
        "serial_param": "--unit=0 --speed=9600"     
    }
}

But I'm guessing this is for hardware UARTs on the motherboard rather than USB based options.

I see that Grub supports the FTDI adaptor but I'm out of my depth in understanding how to activate this in Ventoy ..or if it's possible.
