Yes, either with a keyboard, or via the serial console.  The motherboard 
doesn't need to support redirecting the video to serial, since pxelinux 
talks directly to the serial port (just like most bootloaders).

We typically have most of the machines connected to "serial concentrators" 
so the scripts just telnet to a port, and use the serial console.
