The Bios of the Interjet was never tested or compiled with Microsoft in mind. it is specifically tailored to boot FreeBSD with some special hacks to support the LCD on COM2 (or was that com1?) it is a 133MHz (or was that 233?) MHz chip for crying out aloud. why on EARTH would you wnat to run windows on it? (not to mention that it only has 32 MB of ram.) You cannot get access to the exisiting FreeBSD because it is hacked too much. The binaries are altered to use a database for many things FreeBSd uses flat files for. but the following should work for you: install the drive on a regular PC. install FreeBSD 4.6 from scratch. Set it to have a console on COM1 reinstall it on the machine log in on the serial port.. You should now have a standard FreeBSD machine with serial console COM2 at (hmm I forget the exact baud rate) should print to the LCD.
