[slackware-alphadevel] serial console

I've verified that the serial console works for installing. The
rootdisks sunc out last night work just fine. All I had to do was
uncomment out two lines from /etc/inittab and /etc/securetty.

Those changes were NOT made to the etc package, though. So if you intend
to keep using serial console after you have installed, make sure to
modify those two files on the installed system before you reboot. You
can find them in /mnt/etc if you're still running off the rootdisk.

You will also need to add "console=ttyS0" or whatever to the flags that
you pass to the kernel. I might make modifications to the bootdisks
later on to add that into the /etc/aboot.conf file so there's not so much
typing involved.
