It wouldn't. But a lot of embedded systems --- numerically, by far the majority --- do not include provisions for someone to connect via a serial connection to setup things.

EROS is not a UNIX-like OS. It is probably less like UNIX than any OS you've ever used; in particular, it's much less like UNIX than VMS, MS-DOS, MacOS, ITS, Windows, and Windows NT are. If you've used MVS, you have used an OS that is farther from UNIX than EROS is.
