Yes, you need to either compile a new kernel with
options SERCONSOLE

or (simpler) patch the "serconsole" variable to 0 instead of -1 in your
usual kernel.

See arch/amiga/dev/ser.c:

#ifdef SERCONSOLE
int     serconsole = 0;
#else
int     serconsole = -1;
#endif


I was using a serial console on my Amiga 1200 all the time.
