======Configuring a serial console======

===== Boot loader =====

==== lilo ====

<code>
serial=0,9600n8
</code>

==== grub ====

===== Kernel console =====

Add the following kernel boot parameters in your bootloader

<code>
console=ttyS0,9600
</code>

===== getty =====

Add the following line in ///etc/inittab//

<code>
S0:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 9600 vt100
</code>

And if you want to be able to log on directly as root in the console, please think to add
//ttyS0// in ///etc/securetty//
