I'm sorry to have to tell you, but your Device is only useable via the serial port. You could attach a serial Console, but I think that is not, what you want.

If I could get the Ethernet to work, why not? Problem is, I tried to configure the serial ports in the Penguin booter, but it didn't work. Nothing came out of them during the boot.

Just configuring the serial ports is not enough, you'll also have to tell the kernel to use them. This is done by adding some arguments to the kernel-commandline in Penguin before booting. I normally add:
debug=ser console=tty0
To send the bootup messages over the serial port, but not use it as console. This way I can always save oops's etc, but don't use the serial port as console as that is more cumbersome, at maybe does not work right at all. However, in your case this maybe the only options, and I think (not tested) the options to add then become:
debug=ser console=ttyS0		# First serial port
debug=ser console=ttyS1		# Second serial port if available.
