  Well the PDF you gave above says that the board has keyboard and
serial ports included... you will need to build your own connectors
to convert the pins into a standard cable.

  If you connect up a pc/104 VGA card to the device you will be able=20
to see the console output on bootup... maybe someone here has a video
board?

  Also if you build a serial connector is is possible that the linux
system has one of the two serial devices configured as the console,
hooking that machine up to a desktop over a null-modem and seeing what=20
you get would be a good idea.

  Have you confirmed the board you have is really from
microcomputersystems?  or could it be from some other vendor?
