So the options I have are:

1. 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.
