Ok here is how I do the distributions by serial that support it although 
this only works for real serial ports in the box not those on usb to serial 
or pci serial cards.

Look at the cd image and in particular the config for isolinux.
Find out the default lables and kernel names, for example the ubuntu server 
disk has linux and expert.

Now at the boot: prompt you simply do
label console=ttyS0,38400

example
expoert console=ttyS0,38400

I have done this for Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora core and Centos.

No idea if slackware or gentoo have serial support and serial console 
support in the default kernels.
Regards, Kerry.

Subject: installing via serial


Hello list,
I'd like to be able to do a self-install of debian, and other OS's as well.
Is there a way that I can make any of the following use a serial install?
I can get SecureCRT and get me a null-modem cable and a pci-serial card, and 
run the install through SecureCRT--and it might be better than buying an 
external synth:
slack,
gentu,
debian,
mandrake,
fedora
also bsd would be fun to play with--if I had serial, I wouldn't have to rely 
on ssh as well.

Thanks,
~~TheCreator~~
