[Brian Haley <Brian.Haley@xxxxxx>]

I did this recently on Debian and Red Hat, I think it was as simple as:

1. edit /etc/inittab and un-comment (or add) a line like this:

T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 9600 vt100

2. add ttyS0 to /etc/securetty

3. reload inittab with 'init q'

If when you originally installed you booted with 'console=ttyS0,9600n8'
I think it will actually set this all up for you.  You can always add
this to your bootup with lilo/grub/etc. depending on which you use.
