If you have a 2nd computer with serial ports and a cable you can set up 
serial login with getty. on the other box you use SerialConnect and it 
feels just like telnet. You could also use telnet but that requires a 
working network stack.

Adding this to Bootscript should do it. Actually do we have a getty in 
haiku yet ?? (though R5's should work too) :

/boot/beos/bin/getty /dev/ports/serial1 19200 &

change the serial port and speed to your liking.

To automatically respawn it you could do something like :

while true; do /boot/beos/bin/getty /dev/ports/serial1 19200; done &
