How to Install Debian on Alix and Apu2

Apu2

Connect to the Apu2 over a serial cable. You can use any serial console client, for example PuTTY.
Insert the USB Stick with the current Debian amd64 installer, like this.
Boot the Apu board and press F10 to Enter die Boot Menu.
Choose your Installer stick, in my case is was number 2.
Choose install and press TAB to change the boot parameter. Remove the --- quiet and add console=ttyS0,115200 video=off ---
When you get the undefined video mode number message, just wait 1 to 2 minutes.
Proceed with the Debian installer as on a normal computer with vga until you geh the "Installation complete" message.
Choose Go Back -> Execute a shell (at the bottom of the menu) -> Enter
Mount special file systems (sys, proc and dev) into target. Like this: mount -o bind /sys /target/sys
Chroot into your new system chroot /target
Open /etc/default/grub with your favorite editor.
Set GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT to 'console=ttyS0,115200'
Execute update-grub2
Exit the chroot, the console, choose finish the installation in the installer and reboot the device.
