Subject: BIOS setup via serial port?

I'd like to build some headless machines, but one of the things that
really bugs me is that I can't see the BIOS boot messages or enter
setup without having a keyboard and video card attached.

Does anyone have any pointers or ideas on how to handle this (changing out
the flash bios on the motherboard is certainly an option)...?
