You can simply use a kernel commandline like this grub config snippet while starting the installer: set cS1="console=ttyS1,115200n8" linux .../linux auto=true priority=critical $cS1 ... --- $cS1 Of course you can insert the definition directly instead of using a variable. The d-i will then take care of putting the console information into the installed system.
