Description

There are times when the node is not going to be able to be installed onto, and to better grasp the problem, kernel logs could be useful. However before said node is installed, it's currently not possible to use dmesg with --insecure.

This is not available for security reasons at the moment, as maintenance mode runs without PKI.

The best way is to use serial console and grab kernel logs there.

That's understandable, but results in this problem.

Unfortunately, the cases were this is usually needed lacks serial console. If we could use eg Omni for just kernel log sink, that could be useful for this, just as an idea.
