Seomthing like "console=ttyS0,38400" or whatever settings you like in
your lilo append line or on the kernel line in grub should do it if the
kernel has support for serial console enabled.  inittab should have an
example entry for a matching serial getty if you want to also allow
logins from the serial port.
