Can true console access be attained via ethernet?
No. As far as I know, BIOS in IA32 machines can be accessed only via a keyboard or, in some cases, via a serial interface. If the serial interface is not available, then a product like "the PC Weasel 2000" (http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=4557) can provide it. Unfortunately, it's not cheap. Otherwise I would have bought it. -- Alexandr.Malusek@imv.liu.se
