If you can't get a serial port on your target that allows you to capture and scroll the boot log, you can just film the boot on your phone and review it there. Yeah I know it is rather klunky, but hopefully you'll only be doing it once. Then you can compare real hardware with virtualbox and see how partition detection and boot args differ.
