Yes, Martin Roth mentioned earlier about SeaBIOS not supporting serial input.

I've tried sgabios, but it looks like in order for it to work properly, I should disable all serial debug which is not very convenient.

However, in one of my latest e-mails I suggested that SeaBIOS should not control serial input in memtest since memtest has its own code for serial input handling. And still, input via serial console does not work in memtest. Any idea why that's the case?

Thank you very much, this helped a lot! Now memtest is loading and it

But there is another issue. Somehow, input via serial console does not work.
And it seems like the problem is not in memtest, rather it's in SeaBIOS or
coreboot. There is no any prompt for input in coreboot. But there is in
SeaBIOS, and I was not able to enter boot menu since it did not respond to
F12. Although, SeaBIOS responds to the keyboard that is directly connected
to the board while memtest does not seem to respond at all (at least, I
tried to hit Esc which should reboot the board).
I've tried to search for this but so far found nothing.
Will appreciate any help.
I'm not sure if you found a solution to your issue.

SeaBIOS only supports debug output on serial.  For a serial console,
one can use sgabios with seabios - there is a description on how one
can do this at: http://www.coreboot.org/SeaBIOS#Adding_sgabios_support
