I read this How-To years ago (this site is an awesome resource BTW).
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Remote-Serial-Console-HOWTO/
The three things that need to be configured are:
1. BIOS (if you are lucky enough)
2. GRUB
3. kernel (through parameters from GRUB)
For a quick and dirty answer:
add (or modify) the following lines to /etc/grub.conf
serial --unit=0 --speed=9600 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1
terminal serial console
and modify the "kernel" line in /etc/grub.conf adding
console=tty0 console=ttyS0,9600n8
That will enable both GRUB and TTY access through ttyS0 (COM1 in
win-speak) using 9600bps and 8n1. You can change those values, you just
need to modify your serial terminal to match.
