Thanks for the suggestion, but the order was correct. It turns out that
I needed to specify the serial port speed for the console=ttyS0 option,
as follows:
title SLES 8
kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n
I've pasted a copy of the menu.lst I've created with options for single
mode access through the console and serial console, for anyone that may
be interested. :-)
########## MENU.LST ###########
default 0
timeout 8
####configure serial port to use
serial --unit=0 --speed=115200 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1
####first entry console/serial determines default device
terminal --timeout=10 console serial
title SLES 8
kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n
title floppy
root (fd0)
chainloader +1
title failsafe
kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 ide=nodma apm=off acpi=off
nosmp disableapic maxcpus=0 3
title single user mode serial
kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 console=tty0
console=ttyS0,115200n single
title single user mode console
kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 console=ttyS0,115200n
console=tty0 single
