in /boot/grub/menu.lst

serial --unit=0 --speed=9600 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1
terminal serial

(yes, that's two lines)

I hope that helps.

If you want the option of either serial or console access,
replace the second line with

terminal --timeout=10 serial console

The default will be serial, but if you press a key on the
console within 10 seconds, it will go there instead.
