Which generally makes using a serial console pretty hard doesn't it. 
Or in other words what do people use for a console on a board like
that.  I admit I have heard interesting stories about ring buffers, in
ram but that doesn't sound quite approriate either.

My memory has it that most serial ports are on superio chips anyway so
I don't see their lack of inclusion on a chipset as a problem.
