There's a good how-to for serial-console at:
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Remote-Serial-Console-HOWTO/index.html
The boot disk should have a /etc/lilo.conf file. You can add any
parameters there, but if your kernel has serial support, it may be as
simple as adding
serial=0, 9600n8 (or an equivilent line)
to the bootdisk /etc/lilo.conf. Of course you should read the how-to,
as there are issues with some serial busses, cables, modems, etc.
Check out the above link..........
