0x20 (COM_FORCECONSOLE) isn't enough, you have to use 0x30 (COM_FORCECONSOLE | COM_CONSOLE). COM_FORCECONSOLE is ignored if COM_CONSOLE isn't set. > i'm using boot0sio, so the boot is also talking via the serial, but > the BTX is still using the vga, compiling it to use the serial gave > errors. There's no need to recompile anything; the third-stage loader will automatically use the serial console if the second-stage loader does (i.e. /boot.config contains -h). The reason why there are two versions of the first-stage loader is that space constraints preclude supporting both VGA and serial in the same code. The second- and third-stage loaders have no such constraints.
