Exactly.  Since there is no keyboard attached to the machine, I would
like the machine to be forced to use the serial port as a console.

Currently, when the machine boots and I'm on the serial console, I can see
everything up to the point when the bootstrap loader begins to load 
the kernel.  From that point on, connecting to the console via a serial
connection will show nothing, and will not allow me to log in.

Thanks,

Dan
