Enabling Login To The Console After Boot - Dell External OEMR 1435 User Manual

Additional information for editing the grub.conf:
1 You may need to disable GRUB's graphical interface and use the text-based
interface instead; otherwise, the GRUB screen will not be displayed in
BMU console redirection. To do so, comment out the line starting with
splashimage.
2 If you have multiple options in GRUB and you want all of them to start a
console session through the BMU serial connection, add console=
ttyS1,19200 to all options. The preceding example shows console=
ttyS0,19200 added to only the first option.

See the sample file, which shows the addition of the new line.
