Thank you for your replies!
Just checked sgabios.h and changed serial port base address to 2f8.
Somehow I missed it earlier, although I did set this parameter in both
coreboot and SeaBIOS before. Sadly, I do not currently have access to
Mohon Peak, so I can't really test this right now but, hopefully, I
would be able to test this in a few days.
Also, I'd like to clarify one more thing. Should Option ROMS parameter
in SeaBIOS menuconfig be checked for sgabios to work? Are there any
other nuances I should keep in mind?
