The format of the GRUB configuration file is slightly different, but
you still use the same kernel argument (console=ttyS<N>,<options>).

No matter what version of GRUB you're using, you can add kernel
arguments easily with grubby.  For example:
# grubby --update-kernel=ALL --args='console=ttyS1,9600'
