Jordan anwered:
I've upgraded mine to 1.26. The pxelinux stuff does look "better" (you
can read some stuff) but it is still unusable.
NOCONSOLE would be awesome. I currently use a version of pxelinux.0
that Dave Johnson posted a URL to. It does not output to the console,
only serial.

I hacked up a pxelinux that works around this by only outputing to the
serial port a while back:
