I just completed my first serial console install of debian over the network, using d-i. Even base-config is wrapped correctly now. Though, we need to fix the default inittab so it spawns a getty on the serial port, at least if console points to /dev/ttyS*. just a small heads-up before I go to sleep.. it's almost 0700 here now. :) -- Tollef Fog Heen ,''`.
