The log looks like a CD boot log - was it the same for the hd boot?
A couple of notes:
A "STOP: 0x0000007B" message is an INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE error
according to:

I did notice that the last log message always seems to be:

you could try enabling the CONFIG_FLOPPY_SUPPORT on your machine. If
that doesn't work, you could try just enabling a floppy_1315() handler
that always sets regs->ah=0 and calls set_success().
Another thing to try would be to set DEBUG_HDL_13 and DEBUG_HDL_40 to
1 so that you see every call into the bios disk handlers.
BTW, what are you using to log the output from serial? If something
is sending backspaces - is there a way to capture that?
Also, you reported that Bochs 1.186 is working with ADLO. Does a more
recent version of Bochs also work? The seabios code is basically in
synch with the latest bochs (v1.211).
I wish there was more help I could give; unfortunately I'm seeing a
totally different set of failures here. :-(
