Well, I have managed to get a null modem cable [1], and I have followed some links [2,3], but really I have not be able to have a console .... Maybe I'm wrong setting the ttySX of the cable has some problem, or whatever. But, when grub boots, the box is stopped waiting a key, and after press a key box boots normal. I have tested running minicom or gtkterm in another box, but no login or message showed ..
