Im trying to debug an issue we are having with netbooting a RedHat box. The anaconda installer scribbles useful log data to the second virtual terminal (Ctrl-Alt-F2) but I would like to be able to see this without being there (Box is racked and difficult to access). How can I edit the inittab to redirect the output so it streams to the serial port provided by the HP iLO card ? - I am familiar with setting up serial consoles for login, but not for redirecting like this?

what is your debugging target? boot loader or kernel? if you already have iLO, you can see all console output from remote console. what is your point? – sio4 Dec 11 '13 at 13:44

Do you want something similar to that ?
The general idea is to define in boot-time where the output will be directed. For example ...
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-686 root=/dev/hda1 ro vga=791 quiet console=tty0 console=ttyS0,38400n8
