don't know about "the firmware", but I used the serial console on an old
gateway workstation. during install process, when it asks if you want to
use "BIOS console" or "Serial console", choose 'serial', set the 'baud
rate' and you'll get the bootloader, kernel output and login on the
serial console.

you can still use the video card later.
