That means bios output is written to the virtual uart? Sounds
interesting. Where do we find such an option rom?

Alternatively, what about adding serial console support to SeaBIOS? I've
seen real BIOSes that allow driving both VGA and serial in parallel.
That could be controlled via -boot and some fwcfg, just like we request
the boot menu today.
