Thanks Brian and Monmotha.... I hooked up my workstation to my linux box
with a null-modem cable, but as Brian said, it still isn't a true console.
The boot messages don't show up and the login prompt is the first thing to
pop up. Brian, do you recommend any motherboards with a true console
port? Thanks.

Hum, if you appended the console=ttyS0,bps to your kernel line in
lilo.conf, you should at least get the kerenl startup messages. There's
also a lilo.conf option to have lilo be available on the serial line (so
tha tyou can hit shift to give params. see progress, etc).
