I don't know exactly how to do that - but you could append a string to the lilo
that  the kernel should use a Serial Dumb Terminal [at least] for displaying.
There you can connect via a null modem cable another linux box running minicom
or a serial LC display (? , I think it should work ...) or anything beeing
connected via a serial link ... - be inspired - :)

People who have used a 100 megabyte hard drive that weighed two and a quarter 
tons and cost more than US$130,000 in 1968 experience a special sense of wonder 
when tucking one of today's 2.1 gigabyte drives, just purchased for less than 
US$1000 (... as seen on Ebay)
