These are the steps needed to get it working with Supermicro
Enable COM2 in the BIOS
Enable console redirection to COM2
Speed MUST be 19.2 (all other speeds produce garbled data)
Flow control should be set to NONE
Disable "continue CR after POST"
Boot to Linux and set /etc/inittab to:
"S1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -L 19200 ttyS1 vt100"
Note that the identifier name ("S1") MUST match the tty name ("ttyS1")
Make sure your local security settings allow console login on that tty
