Tips
Serial Terminal
Keep in mind that you won't see the 'login:' prompt after booting Ubuntu 9.04 unless you configure getty to listen on /dev/ttyS2. You'll need to do this while your MicroSD card is still mounted on another host.
# cat > /path/to/rootfs/etc/event.d/ttyS0 <<EOF start on runlevel 2 start on runlevel 3 start on runlevel 4 start on runlevel 5 stop on runlevel 0 respawn exec /sbin/getty 115200 ttyS2 EOF
You will also need to add ttyS2 to /etc/securetty to allow root logins there:
# echo "ttyS0" > /path/to/rootfs/etc/securetty
