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.

I’m not familiar with grub etc as I’ve only ever used palo. Could someone point me in the right direction as to implement console=/dev/ttys0, for the AMD64 port and I386. I assume it would be a change when building the install media. I also use a DB9 Serial Rs232 cable to install Debian 9.3 amd64. I just grab the iso from debian.org and it does not need any modification. If you use console mode during installation it will also be properly set up when Debian is installed (no need to mess with grub...). The only parameter I need to pass to the kernel is: console=ttyS0,115200n8 Note that it is 'console=ttyS0' and not 'console=/dev/ttyS0'. Just in case you get the following (Don't use 'vga=*' to skip that part): "Undefined video mode number: 314 Press to see video modes available, to continue, or wait 30 sec" Simply press the bar or wait 30 sec. See '5.3.1. Boot console' on the following page: https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch05s03.html.en -- John Doe

Also implement the serial console as primary console after installation.
