Could someone point me in the right direction as to implement console=/dev/ttys0, for the AMD64 port and I386. I assume it would be a change when building the install media.
You can simply use a kernel commandline like this grub config snippet while
starting the installer:
set cS1="console=ttyS1,115200n8"
linux .../linux auto=true priority=critical $cS1 ... --- $cS1
Of course you can insert the definition directly instead of using a variable.
The d-i will then take care of putting the console information into the
installed system.
