This indicates that your setup wrt to NOVA/NUL is correct, but your
virtual Linux is not spawning a getty on its serial device.

You need a line such as:
T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -w -L ttyS0 115200 vt100
in /etc/inittab to get a login prompt on the serial console.

You can extract, modify and recreate your initrd with cpio. For details
check for example this page: http://landley.net/writing/rootfs-howto.html

If the bzImage has the initramfs image already embedded, it should work
to use an initramfs with only the updated /etc/inittab file.
