Works fine between a 6400 and a beige G3 here, both running Debian -- i
use minicom to access the serial port.
Of's default settings are 38400 bauds / 8 bit data / no stop bit / 1
parity, and xon/xoff, if I remember. Apart from the kernel
command-line, you'll also need to edit your/etc/inittab to put a getty
on the serial line.

This is configurable, just set OF's 'output-device' and 'input-device'
accordingly.
