ttyS0 in all cases. Thus the following boot arguments should be passed
to the kernel:

	console=ttyS0,9600n81

In /etc/inittab, you should also spawn a getty to ttyS0 as appropriate:

	co:23456:respawn:/sbin/agetty ttyS0 9600 vt100

These are from my RH boxen. Debian may handle gettys slightly differently,
I can't remember.
