The kernel "prints" lots of stuff, and it all goes into a buffer,
to emerge quite late in the boot process when the (serial)
console port is initialized for real use by applications.

You should see a 20 character (or so) ASCII string of coded information
appear on the serial port used for GDB.  The system stops at this
point, waiting to hear from GDB (as you have already discovered).
