oh yes you can.
in your GRUB you should tell your kernel to also listen via the serial
cable and in your inittab you should allow login via serial.
I think it is not related to bq but 100% an OS tweak. Here is an example:
vi /boot/grub/menu.lst
.
.
title=Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES (2.4.21-37.0.1.ELsmp)
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz-2.4.21-37.0.1.ELsmp root=/dev/hda3 console=tty0
console=ttyS0,9600n8
initrd (hd0,0)/initrd-2.4.21-37.0.1.ELsmp.img
.
.
Take not of the console=ttyS0,9600n8, this will allow to see how the
kernel starts.
And in your /etc/inittab, at the very end:
s0:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -L 9600 ttyS0 vt100
this will spawn agetty to permit login vùÂ ttyS0
thats it.
I have it configured in a RHEL3, but it should work for centos3 and centos4.
