I copied serial.o to /lib/modules and added it to the modules to start configuration. Then changed inittab and securetty file backed up and I can now log into dach via serial.
But now I hung up on boot messages. Here is what that part of my syslinux.cfg line looks like.
dnscache,weblet console=tty0 console=ttyS0,19200n8
You won't get boot messages from the kernel unless you use one of the kernels with serial compiled in. The kernel can't output to ttyS0 until the serial.o module gets loaded, well into the boot-up process.
Switch to the 'normal' Dachstein kernel if you really need boot-time messages from the kernel over the serial port.
