Lazy sod ;)

Edit /etc/inittab, add entries for /dev/ttyS1 (line speed/partity etc 
probably need to match). After editing /etc/inittab, run "init q" and 
you should see something if you have a termianl plugged in.
(Most /etc/inittab's have commented out entries for terminals)

If you want the console to be on a terminal, you need to just pass 
"console=ttyS1" (i think) to the kernel on bootup (i.e. edit grub's 
menu.lst)
