If you by "remote terminal" just mean a simple serial terminal: Though I haven't actually tried it, if you unplug the pc-keyboard, and plug in the terminal in com1, and boot, the terminal becomes the console. If you don't unplug the pc-keyboard, the terminal is just - a terminal. But i think you still need some configuration in /etc/ttys. Or somewhere...
