No /dev.  My brain said 'tty0' but my fingers typed '/dev/tty0'.  In
lilo.conf I have

append="console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200"

change the speed and serial line as required.

tty0 will only work if you compile the kernel for VT console
(CONFIG_VT=y and CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE=y).  ttyS0 will only work if you
compile the kernel for serial console (CONFIG_SERIAL=y and
CONFIG_SERIAL_CONSOLE=y).
