Try the Serial-HOWTO.
Basicly, you add a line to your /etc/inittab for the serial terminal.
S1:345:respawn:/usr/sbin/mgetty -r ttyS0
This would add a serial terminial on the first serial port. You also
have to edit the mgetty config files to set up stuff like the baud rate.
They are in /etc/mgetty+sendfax and are fairly well documented. The
mgetty documention will fill in any gaps that the info in the config
files leaves.
