So my current status is that I get as far as:

This looks as if the baudrate is wrong. If I remember correctly, up until "Enabling com device" all output is via some hardcorded and really dumb debug statements, after this the LinuxBIOS I/O system takes over. So check that the debug baudrate and that the baudrate for the rest of LinuxBIOS is the same.
