grub2 does have serial support (you have to remember to create a
ttyS0.conf; the equivalent of adding a ttyS0 line in inittab in the
past) and I vaguely remember that there is pxe boot but only for bios
boxes not for efi ones or others; vaguely.


Well, what do you know, it seems to actually support PXE directly too. I
take it it means no more drivers per chip to compile into grub needed
like it did with grub or rather pxegrub?
