I think I've nuked your original message (sorry), but this looks like you
have a BIOS running a screen-scraper video emulation, but don't have the
bootstrap/loader actually aimed at the serial port.
If that's the case, put
-h
in /boot.config on the boot disk and try again, or if you're not running
with a filesystem, you'll need to tweak boot2 to set the default console
to serial.

... every activity meets with opposition, everyone who acts has his
rivals and unfortunately opponents also. But not because people want
to be opponents, rather because the tasks and relationships force
people to take different points of view. [Dr. Fritz Todt]
