Might be worth checking the grub documentation. It might be able to
load from the floppy.

RedBoot will use all available consoles, ie com1, com2, and the screen
if you have it enabled. diag_printf will just the use the first. So it
could be you are looking at the wrong serial port.

Play with CYGNUM_HAL_VIRTUAL_VECTOR_CONSOLE_CHANNEL_DEFAULT and
CYGNUM_HAL_VIRTUAL_VECTOR_DEBUG_CHANNEL.
