Chad what you are referring to is that linux kernel having serial support built in. The 'normal' linux kernel should have this, that and modification to the syslinux.cfg file on the floppy should be the only modification you should have to make. There is a fairly extensive HOW-TO that has this information within it. I do not know if the HOW-TO has been updated to include the part about the linux kernel.
Happy hunting...

I can copy the same results as you from my minicom window (i.e the boot happens and I can log in) but there is one large thing missing: boot messages. I see none. Are you seeing them? Can you tell me how I can see them? Aren't boot messages important? They probably aren't for a production box, I guess, but for developers on headless boxes? Maybe. Is the boot information available any other way in LEAF? Of course it is successful not to have to use a custom compiled kernel on your leaf box, because it makes it easier to stay up with the latest version. That is what i am going for. But I think I need my boot messages. Please tell me if I am wrong or if there is something I can do to not have to live without them.
