This Debian package of remote-tty expects the creation of symlinks in /etc/remote-tty/dev/ to the appropriate device file for that console. For example: ln -s /dev/ttyS0 /etc/remote-tty/dev/myconsole would enable the use of: rconsole myconsole to connect to the device that was on ttyS0. The addrconsole script will create a suitable user account and the appropriate symlink for you, such that the user can only get access to the serial console when they log in.
