There is firescope, setting up the kernel console output over firewire:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=114412300502236&w=2
There might be some machines having problems with it (all you need is a
cable and your firewire device must be OHCI1394 compliant AFAIK), but I
tried it out once and it worked fine.

There is even something additional to set up kgdb over firewire,
Bernhard knows more about this...
