I am in the process of setting up a router/file server using F16. I
would like have the boot messages go to the serial console.


How do you do that in F16?

It seems to use a different version of grub than other versions, and
what worked in F14 won't work in F16. I think. Or will it?


Thanks.

The format of the GRUB configuration file is slightly different, but
you still use the same kernel argument (console=ttyS<N>,<options>).

No matter what version of GRUB you're using, you can add kernel
arguments easily with grubby. For example:
# grubby --update-kernel=ALL --args='console=ttyS1,9600'
