Look in util/ADLO/bochs/bios/rombios.c

Search for DEBUG_SERIAL and make sure

1) that it exists that way you actually have the version of rombios
with the serial output mods
2) the define is enabled

Then all of the printf statements in rombios.c will go out the serial
port and anything that calls the bios to write a character to the
screen.  Which will include what LILO is trying to do.

Note that it also tries to the screen write bios call so if thats what
is hanging things it will still hang.
 For a true console redirection you will have to hack on the send()
routine to only call the uart_tx_byte() and not uart_tx_byte() and
wrch()

Hope this helps.
