remote console over elom (SSH)

I'm running ELOM 3.09 on a X2100 M2, Ubuntu 7.10 (Gusty Gibbon).
I am able to log into the SP over SSH, run all the CLI commands like
'set /SP/SystemInfo/CtrlInfo PowerCtrl=reset'. However, I'm not able
to see any system console output via 'start /SP/AgentInfo/console'

It seems to start up (and I can stop it via ESC-shift-9), but I'm not
getting any system output (e.g., can't see grub, or anything from the
boot process). I get nothing:

/SP -> start /SP/AgentInfo/console
console activate successful
press ESC ( to terminate session...

(I get nothing)

I can stop the console from another SP session ('stop /SP/AgentInfo/
console'). But I cannot see anything, nor get an interactive console
with my system.

Am I missing something simple? Do I have to configure Grub for serial
output? I've tried a few things, but haven't gotten anywhere.
Does anyone have experience running a system console over SSH with
ELOM? I'd really appreciate any input.
The closest thing I've found: http://www.sunmanagers.org/pipermail/summaries/2007-February/007955.html
They configure the serial port in the kernel boot line. I haven't
done that yet. I want to see the grub menu through the console first.

Thanks.
Steve
