For creating a lab if I dont have serial cables can I use a crossover ethernet cable?

To connect a PC or laptop to a router, yes!

But for router to router connections I have never heard of or had cause to use an ethernet cross over cable to connect two routers.

Unless someone else knows?

Yes, you can put a crossover between two routers' ethernet interfaces, but if you don't have additional ethernet interfaces on the routers there not much else left for you to do. You're probably better off getting a serial cable (check ebay).
