Serial console

I'm attempting to set up a serial console on a FC4 machine using some instructions I have found on the net. My only problem is when I log into the serial console, I'm connected to "ttyS0" not "console"

Yes, I understand that I am physically connected to /dev/ttyS0 but IIRC /dev/console is a special device in unix in which messages etc are always sent to the console, is this not correct? Do I want to just link /dev/console to /dev/ttyS0, or will I break something?

Right now when the system boots I'll get a message on the monitor connected to the old VGA interface saying "Uncompressing Linux" or something like that, all other data goes to the serial port (like I'd expect).

thanks, Jeff
