Fstab: yes. You'll find a pair of commented out entries in /etc/inittab for setting up the serial port. Simply uncomment the appropriate one and adjust the speed parameter, for example: #T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 9600 vt100 T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 19200 vt100 That's all! Depending on how you are planning to do the installation, you might also run into hardware configuration trouble with files under /etc/udev, which are apparently written to by the Debian Installer. In my experience, debootstrap provides the cleanest environment to start with.
