That's not possible; but you should be able to use PPP, although the
support in d-i itself isn't quite finished. If you don't mind fiddling
with pppd itself...

server-side:

pppd ttyS0 115200 passive noauth 192.168.0.1:192.168.0.2

client-side:

pppd ttyS0 115200 noauth 192.168.0.2:192.168.0.1 defaultroute usepeerdns

You probably have to jump into the shell to get that running... also,
the 'usepeerdns' stuff might not work, in which case you need to throw
it out.
