after some further investigation, something odd is going on... turns
out things have been working (at least until initrd time, but that's
another story) fine but none of the bootargs have made it into the
kernel, so console= was unset and no messages came out.

not sure if this is appropriate, but explicitly putting the "default"
serial consoles into the dtb, at least helps me get along debugging
issues...

Specify default bootargs consoles for the Beaglebone and Pandaboards
in their respective device tree files.
