Sure. In /etc/inittab there are lines which setup the 6 default tty consoles;
for example:

        c1:45:respawn:/bin/agetty 38400 tty1

Change the 38400 to 115200 or 230400 on the six lines, reboot, and watch things
whiz by. A short script fragment (from last June on this list) that does all
the work:

        tmpfile=/tmp/TempInittab$$ initbak=/etc/inittab.bak$$
        cp /etc/inittab $initbak # save, just in case...
        sed 's/agetty 38400 tty/agetty 115200 tty/g' /etc/inittab > $tmpfile
        mv $tmpfile /etc/inittab

HTH...
