help using serial console w/ netboot

[Miles Fidelman <mfidelman@meetinghouse.net>]

Hi Folks,

I'm trying to build a headless, remote server - using an IPMI serial 
terminal and PXEboot.  The thing is, that I've got everything set up to 
the point that the install system is booting (I can see the splash 
screen via a remote KVM), but can't access it via a remote serial console.

I think I need to put some magic incantation in   ../pxelinux.cfg, or 
possibly some other config file - but can't find any documentation on 
how to do it (what I have found is contradictory and doesn't work for 
me).  (For what it's worth, it's a supermicro rack-mount server, with 
on-board IPMI 2, but I think the issue is configuring the boot file 
properly.)

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
