Syslinux - Mar 2009 - configure to use serial console

Hi,,

In Debian documentation website for "booting linux from USB" they say
that the minimum details to be in  syslinux.cfg are:

default vmlinuz
append initrd=initrd.gz

bcoz i dont have a screen now, i wanna use serial port as a console from another
laptop(supports serial).
so how the above config file becomes?

is it :

Serial 0
Console 0
default vmlinuz
append initrd=initrd.gz 

??
thanks

You might want to provide the baud rate as well, see
http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/SYSLINUX#SERIAL_port_.5Bbaudrate_.5Bflowcontrol.5D.5D

This probably isn't needed, but won't hurt.

Consider appending console=ttyS0 as well, to get Linux output to the
serial console.
