What is the role of a console rollover in cisco networking?
A rollover cable is typically used to connect from a DB9 serial port on your computer to the RJ45 console port on the router. An RJ45-RJ45 rollover can be used from Aux port to Console port or from the ports on a 2509-RJ/2511-RJ to a console port.
What is the difference between connecting to a router through the console port or through the telnet program?
If you connect to the router via the console port then you are physically making a connection with a physical cable to the router. This implies you have to be close to the router itself. Using telnet allows you to connect to the router from anywhere in the network, and doesn't require a physical cable connection.

What happens if you start a Cisco router that has no configuration in memory?
Should you start a Cisco router sans config (as is the case when you first purchase it), then it will not do anything but power on - yet. You must attach a cable to the console port of the router on one end, and the serial port of your computer at the other. This can also be done using a rollover cable to connect the router's console port to your computer's ethernet port. Once connected, you can use HyperTerminal, Cutecom, or another serial communication terminal program to see the console input.output from the router. It will ask you if you would like to enter the initial configuration script. Type yes and work from there!
