You must configure serial consoles into the kernel - there is a configuration
option.  I think you may also have to give a kernel command like similar to:

        console=ttyS0,19200n8

for a 19200, no parity, 8 bits console.  Also make sure that /dev/console
has major 5 minor 1:

crw--w--w-   1 root     root       5,   1 Feb  3 23:29 /dev/console
