Indeed, adding "console=tty0 console=ttyS1,115200" to the append line in
extlinux.conf, now the serial connection works.
But initial-setup, even if the answers appears in the serial interface,
doesn't work: in reality there is a login screen.
Here you can find a screencast to better understand:

Using the hdmi monitor and the keyboard, initial setup works.
