That worked! However, the serial bug is apparently back - grub's printing 'Press any key to continue' very very slowly, and ignoring serial console input while that is happening. See boot log at: http://ward.vandewege.net/coreboot/seabios/20090521-seabios-sgabios-serial-debug-on-sgabios-pnp-patch.cap2 Once grub gets to the 'press esc for menu' countdown, serial console works again.
