OK.  Generally this means that the video address isn't set right, so
you may have some tweaking to do.  It can also mean that you've set
things up such that you are booting from a serial console (the COMCONS
kernel).  You might want to connect a terminal/terminal emulation
program to the serial port and see what you get.  iirc, it is 9600, 8,

Maybe, but unlikely.  If you were, the bios wouldn't even load the
file.
