FWIW, I have two ISP1100's running 1.4.3_ALPHA and I am quite happy
with them. But to get it all to work, I had to installboot
biosboot_com0.sym from 1.5_ALPHA2.
I had to do some other hacking to make the initial install floppy.
If you end up going this route, I'd be happy to share my experiences.
Unfortunately, I have already discarded by install floppy...

Intel do a 1U server called the ISP1100 which claims to have a BIOS
with
"LAN/serial console redirection". I believe this is OEM'd by various
vendors.
See http://www.intel.com/network/products/isp1100.htm.
