I've faced this problem myself... my preferred method is to setup
console redirection via ssh, ssh into the DRAC, "connect com2", then
supply the "consdev com1" option to the bootloader thingy via the UI
console; followed by "boot" from the serial console.  It's also simple
enough to build an ISO with console support enabled automagically, but
I've never taken the time.

HTH,

Mike.
