KD trace during ROS installation

[Love Nystrom]

Good afternoon gentlemen..
Can anyone tell me at what point during ROS installation KD becomes
operative?
And if there is a way to change the default KD COM port from COM1 to COM2
in order to trace KD output during installation?
(I run my ROS tests on VMware with a com0com connection from ReactOS COM2
to my host machine, which works fine after install is complete and I can
edit freeldr.ini,
but I'd like to be able to collect KD output during installation as well.)
(COM1 is not an option, since it's a physical port on both host and guest.)
Do I have to patch KD itself ?
Best Regards
L.

You should be able to simply add an
Options=...
line to the [Setup] section in boot/bootdata/bootcd.ini to modify
the setup's freeldr options. That file becomes freeldr.ini in the root
dir of the BootCD.
