Ok, without a serial port on this machine the best I can do is use a 
USB-Serial convertor which I realize will not provide BIOS or GRUB 
messages.  To start with I changed the kernel boot line adding: 
console=ttyUSB0,115200n8 and I setup minicom on the other machine.  At 
first minicom would only give me unreadable characters so I assumed a 
baud mismatch and began testing other rates.  At 57600n8 in minicom I 
get this:
AT+GCAP
AT+GCAP
AT+GCAP

this is with both the standard lucid kernel and the pv_ops dom0 kernel 
using console=ttyUSB0,115200n8.  Any ideas on how to get more output?  
And I don't know how to configure xen line to add console or if usb 
serial console is even possible with xen.
