For sure - we have some networks that when a host netboots it always goes to something like http://netboot.xyz with serial console by default.

My favorite is some vendors using COM1 and some using COM2 so you have no idea which it is ahead of time.

That's why I keep to UEFI - most of the time the configuration just works, and firmware passes down information about serial console to the OS, iirc.
