Actually, don't set the SERIAL:_CONSOLE config variable via YAST....It didn't
work when I tried it...SuSEconfig must be changing other settings as
well....Just edit "/etc/inittab" by hand and it works.....
Forgot to mention in my previous post....If you want to log in as root you have
to set the config variable "ROOT_LOGIN_REMOTE" to yes....
