Simon,

What he is trying to describe is that to use a PCI serial port card you
fist have to enumerate the PCI bus and assign resources.  Thats done
after RAM + a bunch more is functional. So it doesn't help you bring up
a northbridge.

Bringing up a northbridge requires that you have some sort of debug IO
that can happen almost immediately after the CPU starts up.
