Supposedly, it can be done, and I've even found plans for a special 
Firebox serial cable used for configuration. However, it seems meant to 
be used only when the OS (originally NetBSD IIRC) is running, not for 
low-level BIOS stuff.
I've tried both my custom cable as well as standard null-modem 
connections. I get nary a peep on either.
