I fear without any log it will become hard to impossible to get it running.

You should, for example, obtain a PCI serial card and attach it - if your machine hasn't already a serial connector on-board or something like Intel AMT SOL (SerialOverLAN).
Regarding the seoul multiboot scheme, I saw it does not allow a ISO, correct?
Yes.
It seems to expect a bootloader (munich), them the bzImage, an some aditional g Actually I have prepared a custom remasterized version of TinyCore with some specific libs / apps. It works alone. But when I tried to port to seoul, sitill using munich, I don´t have a bzImage. I have a vmlinuz, core.gz and my own stuff as TCZ extensions. The vmlinuz I customize some files.
For Seoul you have two ways to boot things - either boot a multiboot compliant kernel, which Linux is not, or boot a VM from a raw disk image.
Munich (as a multiboot kernel) is a small helper to bootstrap a Linux kernel. Munich expects as first multiboot image the Linux kernel and the second multiboot image has to be the initial ram disk. (see http://os.inf.tu-dresden.de/~kauer/oslo/README for pointers to munich)
For the Seoul/Tinycore demo we had to manually squash the core.gz and all the Firefox browser related files into a initial ram disk (tc-browser.gz). I fear we didn't documented it well. As far as I remember it was no fun. Could be - because we don't create for Seoul VMs regularly. So, we have no ready to use work-flow we could share. Setting up a VM with Virtualbox is - in that regard - much more user-friendly.
The other option of course is to install your intended VM setup on a disk - or in a VM on a virtual disk, e.g. use Virtualbox on your Linux/Windows. Finally use the raw disk image for Seoul - there are ways to convert a vdi/vmdk image into a raw disk image. A hybrid iso/usb bootable image should also work in principal as raw disk image - however never tried.
Just a note - you may need several iterations of Linux kernel configuration tweaking and rebuilds until you may get it running in Seoul. Seoul was/is more or less a research VMM and does not support everything out-of-a-box what a standard Linux distribution kernel enables/expects from the hardware.
