You want to see what happens during execution.
Can you create a separate git tree ( git clone
git://git.seabios.org/seabios.git <dirname_of_choice> ) where you run
"make menuconfig" in, then set CONFIG_DEBUG_LEVEL to 8 (make
menuconfig > debugging > debug level) ? Have a look at the other
options too, maybe.
Add the resulting file (out/bios.bin.elf) as the payload.

I have an unused dawicontrol dc-974 (scsi2 ?) that I should try booting off.
