Inclusion here. To have the /etc/inittab file to be re-read:
# telinit q
(i also recall doing a "# killall agetty" for some reason)
The entire specifics of this can also be found in the "Remote Serial

After doing:
# kermit
type "connect" (most times, you'll also need to type "RETURN" to get
the shell to display the login prompt). Type "ctrl \ c" & the "exit".

also noticing I'll probably confuse any readers. oh well.
