Serial console on v20z with Sles9

Does anyone know how to configure GRUB on sles9 to allow you a full serial
console on the v20z?

I have SOL (serial over Lan) working via the service processor. I see the
bios of the machine, and eventually get a login on the serial port, but I
cant get the bootup to be readble on the serial console. (services startup,
etc) I guess it is bringing up the pretty graphics, which is making the
serial line barf.

I tried following suns doc 79708, but my grub.conf files don't seem to
match.

My grub.conf
