I assume you're using PXELINUX and menu.c32/vesamenu.c32, correct?

Do you have the keyword quiet in your global or LABEL-specific APPEND?
 I'm guessing yes.  If so, this is by design.

Not to my knowledge.  SAY is executed by the core while
reading/paesing the config file only.  You could wrie a COM32 module
that displays a message then executes a command line (like the
ifXXX.c32 and cmd.c32 modules).
