Is there a way to see the GRUB2 boot menu using the AOM (on an i5600) rather than a serial cable?

Our appliances are getting hung up when booted into v14 and the 'switchboot' utility won't work. If I'm working remote or late at night, it would be nice to be able to recover without having to drive...

Here's how I do it often,

 

  1. ssh to AOM address
  2. hostconsh ~or~ exec /bin/aomconsh -u -b 19200
  3. Esc ( 
  4. 2 - Reboot Host subsystem
  5. Select your options from the boot menu
