resend: serial console?

I'm trying to run a serial console on a Dual G4 800 running OS X 10.1
Can anybody help?

Openfirmware will use a serial console, however I don't know how to
make Darwin use one. I've tried pulling the keyboard, and the video
card. Pulling the video card just causes Darwin not to boot..

Is it even possible to get Darwin to use a serial console? I see
what looks like code for console selection, but I have no idea how it
gets called. I'm guessing that a serial console driver needs to call
IOPlatformExpert::setConsoleInfo(), but I have no idea what that
serial console driver might be called. I can't even get a getty going
on the serial port.

Thanks,

Drew
