Pass "serial" as an option to the install. Erik
But be careful. The install works fine over a serial console. However out of the box RH doesn't install a getty on the serial port you are doing the install from. This can get you in a situation where you have installed the system alright but are not able to reach it after the final reboot.
In your kickstart file you have to make provisions to install a getty yourself and in the %post% section to enable it on the serial line.
See http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20684 for more info on this. Koos.
