Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**

We would like to have a serial console over USB to see boot messages

**Describe the solution you'd like**

Press Shift-V during early boot, and the output will be directed to a serial console over USB.

The lua code needs to go here:

Somehow we don't succeed in loading the needed kernel modules in this way yet. Probably it needs to be done differently?

**Describe alternatives you've considered**

Typing commands at the bootloader prompt

**Additional context**
