Here is a quick cheat sheet. If this doesn't work check out the "Remote-serial-console" Howto on linux.org.

  1. Edit /etc/inittab and add this:

co:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -h -t 60 ttyS0 9600 vt102

  1. Add ttyS0 to /etc/securetty

  2. Run 'telinit q`

This works on RedHat 5.2 and up as far as I remember. Not sure about other flavors.
