I just doublechecked this on an Indy. The installer detects the serial
console with either console=ttyS0 as kernel command line argument or
"console=d1" as prom var correctly. Can you try another installation and
save /var/log/messages as well as /target/etc/inittab before you reboot
from the installer?
