Serial consoles

Hi,

I posted here a few months ago about getting the Debian installation
process to work on a serial console over a null modem connection to a
vt100 terminal.  Someone replied suggesting I replace the linux image
provided with a developement kernel and enabling serial consoles that way.
I am installing from a dos partition which I'll delete later so I have
base2_1.tgz, drv1440.bin, install.bat, linux, resc1440.bin, and root.bin
in a dos directory.  My question is will simply rebuilding that linux file
as a developement kernel and editing install.bat appropriately be enough
or do I need to modify anything on root.bin?  Also, do I have to rebuild
drv1440.bin with the 2.1 modules and what modules and kernel compile
options should I enable for the Debian install program to go smoothly?
