Sure. I do that all the time for my ia64 land.

should work for PC-hardware too like

linux console=ttyS0

I do have my terminals wired at 9600bps speed, but i think the form

linux console=ttyS0,38400

should make it work other speeds (this isn't something i've verified)
Yet again, if it's not COM1 you're using, but COM1, you obviously
should use something like

linux console=ttyS1,38400

at the isolinux promt (or PXE or what ever you use to boox the thing).

HTH
