Yes. See /usr/src/linux/Documentation/serial-console.txt.
I've just done it (after having some trouble due to an incorrect
/dev/console device).
You need a 2.2.x kernel for this to work or a patched 2.0.x one. Basically
you use a kernel command-line parameter of "console=ttyS0" to make a serial
terminal (box A in your setup) hooked to /dev/ttyS0 on machine B the display
for machine B. You also need a getty running on /dev/ttyS0.
If you need further assistance feel free to ask here in the list or via
personal mail to me.
