Yep, I think I know the problem.  Let's see if anyone agrees.

The device at 8/16 is a Lasi.  However, it doesn't report a serial port
below it.  I wonder if plugging the management card in disables the first
onboard serial port?  Anyway, there is an RS232 device we know how to
drive at 8/20/2.  This is a Wax chip and it has a standard UART in it.

So if you plug your console into the _second_ serial port, yet boot
it with console=ttyS0, you should see boot messages.  If you have two
null-modem cables, you might want to try having both plugged in at the
same time to be sure you don't miss anything.
