GRUB serial access

[karan]

Hi  All

I am trying to configure GRUB for serial port access for my project. What I
want to do is ::

1. On boot , GRUB should always accept the password from the serial port {
ttyS0 }before continuing with booting .

2. I want this without dropping to the console in GRUB. I tried modifying
the /boot/grub/grub.conf  by adding the following lines ::

serial --unit=0 --speed=9600
terminal serial

This is not making GRUB go automatically in the serial console . However ,
if  I drop down to the console and then give these commands , then I am able
to communicate from another computer using minicom . I want to configure it
so that I can make the machine into a monitor-less machine .

Any help would be appreciated .

Thanks and Regards,
