It maybe does but you could still not see anything with SOL.

This could be because the kernel doesn't get correct BIOS data. Telling
installboot the proper I/O address for the com1 port will then
help.

It could also be one of the simple BMCs that only redirect BIOS I/O
but not anything talking to the hardware directly. In this case
you are probably lost.
