Slightly OT...Kernel serial console

(Since this is a PC/104 based problem...maybe someone here has encountered
this before...)

I'm stumped.....I have to debug a kernel that is crashing at boot on a  
machine with no video hardware (a PC/104 embedded P133 AMPRO CM/P5i) and I
cannot put a video card in...(money/time is short)

I applied the 2.0.36 kernel (version I am using) patch for a serial
console, but this seems to only display the kernel messages after boot is
complete.

I can't debug this on another machine because the crash is caused by some
specific hardware (boots fine on a machine that does not have the
hardware, a DiskOnChip2000, because that driver doesn't initialize) only
present on the PC/104 box.

Any ideas as to what I can do to see the kernel messages at boot
to find out how the DoC2000 driver is crapping out?
