BOOTBOOT does not support VGA text mode, it sets up graphic mode regardless to the platform. You don't have to mess around with [[VESA]] or [[GOP]] any more, you will get the frame buffer ready to use. The example Hello World kernel provided with the BOOTBOOT source has a minimal puts() example, which outputs text on that frame buffer using [[PC Screen Font]] (same that Linux Console uses).
The loader also initializes the [[Serial_Ports|serial console]] for you with 115200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity and 1 stop bit. Your kernel can send debug messages from the start.
