Just a quick followup, I've confirmed that even with my BIOS configured
correctly (don't probe for a keyboard) GRUB will wedge and not boot my OS
unless I have one plugged in.  LILO on the other hand works just fine (well
as fine as LILO ever works anyway).

Upon booting on the VGA console (when I add one) I see:

GRUB Loading stage1.5.


GRUB loading, please wait...

and there it sits until I attach a keyboard and reboot.  During that time
nothing ever appears on the serial console.  My config is:
--8<--
# grub config (info grub)

serial --speed=115200
terminal --timeout=0 serial
default 0
timeout 10

title  GNU/Linux
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 console=ttyS0,115200n8

title  GNU/Linux (Old Kernel)
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz.old root=/dev/sda1 console=ttyS0,115200n8

title  GNU/Linux (single-user)
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz single root=/dev/sda1 console=ttyS0,115200n8
--8<--

My root partition is ext2fs.  Let me know if you need more info.
