   I don't know if it's possible or not, but I'd look to see if it's   
   possible to redirect console output to a serial or parallel port such   
   that I can have another machine log or print the output.   
      
   I think that can be done after MS-DOS boots.  But I don't know if it can   
   be done as it boots.   
      
   Also, check to see if the computer supports console redirection to a   
   serial port for the same effect without MS-DOS support.
