You can always plug in a USB-RS232 converter and pass "console=ttyUSB0"
on the kernel command line. There is no need to use the built-in serial
console as a terminal. If that still fails, you can always use netconsole
as I mentioned earlier, see [1], which works on any machine with networking
available.
