Don't even have? Apart from Soekris and boards that can use Corerboot, what x86 board does?

Every single Supermicro and Tyan board I've ever used. Also every Dell, HP, and Sun/Oracle server I've ever used (though those can be a bit more of a pain). Really, anything with a halfway-decent IPMI implementation.
We might be talking about different things. Soekris does this without IPMI.
The IPMI spec lets you send the entire console (BIOS through login boot cycle) out either the hardware serial port, or over a LAN for all those platforms.
I've just thrown away a 2007-era SuperMicro single U machine with serial BIOS.
Nice to know that there are more machines like this.
