could it be that the boot loader is not configured to work over a
serial connection?

Random quote of the week/month/whenever i get to updating it: "Like an
unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its
vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his
objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the
ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the
false with the true." - Martin Luther King Jr.
