DOS uses the BIOS for I/O; I believe that is what the the "IO" in "BIOS" is all about :-). But I could be wrong. Have you tried it? For Linux, I have added support for serial hardware and serial console to the kernel for 4.0. So you should be able just to boot the kernel with the option "console=ttyS0,9600" or somesuch. If you are booting from the network, you can do this by editing the "append" line in tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default. If not... Then it's harder. Are you booting these systems from floppy, CD, or network? - Pat
Yes, this can be a BIOS option, but DOS can also do something like this. Take a look here:
