I just give the boot options
console=ttya
and everything comes up ok
I also had to edit /etc/inittab to take away the mingetty's on tty1 to
tty6 and enable the following line
S0:123:respawn:/sbin/agetty -L 9600 ttyS0
In addition to that I had to add ttyS0 to /etc/securetty so that I
could login as root on the console.
