Cool, thanks! If I can get my BIOS to use the serial port for SETUP and POST, I should be good to go.

You can however get a usb serial port. With some configuration on both ends, you should be able to use a program like minicom to connect the USB/Serial connector on the powerbook to a serial port on the PC and use minicom as a serial console. I believe this is what you want. Serial console will give you everything that comes up on the PC. That's the theory at least. You can probably google on serial console for futher info.
