My 3100 manual tells me that the command to select the console on the
standard serial console port (== printer port!, not communications port),
is "setenv console 8"

try the following boot command:
boot -f tftp() "console=ttyS3 single rw"
Assuming you use my declinuxroot-990128.tgz, which likes to have
its root FS mounted read-write.
I had indeed some trouble getting the serial port running on the 3100,
and running getty made the system panic. But single user should be OK.
