With a null-modem cable, and tie a getty to the serial port.
Something like:
S1:456:respawn:/sbin/getty ttyS1 DT9600 vt420
in your /etc/inittab, and perhaps some gettydefs entries.. Then an
"init q" to restart init. You hopefully will get a login banner and
prompt on the vt420...
See the Serial howto.
