Boot messages are set in Syslinux, not the LEAF OS until the kernel gives up control to INIT. The console keyword in /syslinux.cfg should point to the serial port instead of tty if your planning to run headless. Charles serial HowTo and the Serial Console FAQ aptly covers this change as well. All LEAF kernels except DF small should have serial support compiled in, so usually kernel support isn't an issue in the least. I have had problems attempting to get boot messages sent to two consoles, so I pick the one I will be using (the most)..... ie, if the machine is headless I use /dev/ttyS0 instead of tty0 in syslinux.cfg.
