It may just be a disc that expects VGA; most livecds/installers/etc wouldn't run terminals on every available serial port. But it obviously prints kernel stuff to the serial port -- maybe you can give the kernel init=/bin/bash or somesuch to run a console directly, which would presumably appear the same place the kernel output does.

Failing that, how hard would it be to add video to this machine, even just temporarily?
