Beige G3 serial console install?

[Patrick Finnegan <pat@computer-refuge.org>]

So I picked up a beige G3 that I want to install debian on.  As the 
video seems to be somewhat foobar'd (works fine in software, but 
produces unreadable output), I need to do a serial console install.  Is 
there any way to do this?  Every premade bootable image I've tried so 
far wants to use the video as my console, which, of course, doesn't 
work so well.

Any help would be appreciated.
