That will be too late. In /etc/rc.d/rc.M gpm is started before rc.local
is called, as shown by the following "tail".

kees@lankhmar:~$ tail -n 17 /etc/rc.d/rc.M

# Start the GPM mouse server:
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.gpm ]; then
. /etc/rc.d/rc.gpm start
fi

# If there are SystemV init scripts for this runlevel, run them.
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.sysvinit ]; then
. /etc/rc.d/rc.sysvinit
fi

# Start the local setup procedure.
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.local ]; then
. /etc/rc.d/rc.local
fi

# All done.

You'll need to modify /etc/rc.d/rc.gpm.
Either create the link at the top of rc.gpm or modify the lines in
the "restart" and the "default" sections to use /dev/ttyS0 instead
of /dev/mouse.
