That problem is in his BIOS but not GRUB. I don't think
there is any workaround for that.

I had a similar problem until I figured out there was a
mouse attached to the serial port. Before that discovery
I was able to make GRUB run without user interaction by
commenting out the following two lines in menu.lst:
serial --speed=115200
terminal --timeout=2 console serial

Once I disconnected the mouse, GRUB has worked even with the
above two lines uncommented.

On the issue of disabling serial port completely,
there is a --disable-serial option already present in the
configure.in file. It should turns off the SUPPORT_SERIAL
C preprocessor macro by not enabling the SERIAL_SUPPORT
automake symbol. I haven't tested that option. Has anyone?
