Is there any chance the kernel's console is defaulting to the framebuffer instead? Usually you'd need to override that behavior with a kernel command line option (console=ttyS0,9600n8 or similar).
It /shouldn't/ since as I understand it there's no framebuffer in that model (there's certainly no video connector on the back). So far I've not had any success with kernel options... I could experiment with building a new kernel (I've got mips running slowly on Qemu) but am a newbie as far as this architecture's concerned.
