Why mgetty? I have plain old getty running on a serial port using:
S0:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty ttyS0 38400 vt100
I don't have a dumb terminal connected there, but another linux (test) box.
Here's the lilo.conf from that other box:
t3 13:46:49 ~: cat /etc/lilo.conf
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
serial=0,38400N8
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.12-20
label=linux
root=/dev/hda1
append="console=ttyS0,38400"
read-only
Saves a monitor, keyboard and/or switch.
