Yes - it doesn't display the "virtual BIOS" stuff on the serial port, 
though.

When you boot a HVM-based domU in SDL or VNC mode, it starts up with the 
screen that says:
"Plex86/Bochs VGABios current-cvs 22 May 2006
This VGA/VBE Bios is released under the GNU LGPG

<...>"

If this could be redirected over the serial line, I believe it would be 
what W2K3 tries to detect..
