I've extended my serial debug patch to see entire vga text console message (printed via int10 vgabios service routine) on the serial temrnial.
I needed this because I don't want run vgabios (due to it took several seconds) but I want to use lilo as a boot loader. Therfore, I skipped VGABIOS and handled int10 service to direct messages to serial console.
As a result, I can use lilo instead of etherboot without performance degradation caused by running vgabios. I think this might be useful for those who don't need VGA text console or have problem with running VGABIOS, but want to use lilo or grub as a boot loader.
Regard, Heechul.
