Boot from CDROM with keyboard plugged in, wait for the beep and press 6 blindfolded then enter boot -h. 2. Boot from floppy and flip the diskettes until the output is directed to the serial console. 3. Build my own PXE image. Doh. Lots of work. I was asking for a small and very helpful change in the boot loader. Floppies are so 1980's. Getting my butt to the server room and plugging the keyboard in is a little better, but still far from the convenience of putting the CD in and forgetting the problem. /S
