I read this How-To years ago (this site is an awesome resource BTW).
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Remote-Serial-Console-HOWTO/

The three things that need to be configured are:
1. BIOS (if you are lucky enough)
2. GRUB
3. kernel (through parameters from GRUB)

For a quick and dirty answer:

add (or modify) the following lines to /etc/grub.conf

	serial --unit=0 --speed=9600 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1
	terminal serial console

and modify the "kernel" line in /etc/grub.conf adding

	console=tty0 console=ttyS0,9600n8


That will enable both GRUB and TTY access through ttyS0 (COM1 in
win-speak) using 9600bps and 8n1.  You can change those values, you just
need to modify your serial terminal to match.
