Restating the question.
Is there a way to force PXE to
1) not probe for a console
2) use a serial port as the default com port
I know I can put set console="comconsole" in /boot/loader.rc.
Normally, this is set in the boot blocks, but we don't
have these in pxeboot.
Thanks,

I think you have some very serious confusion about what things are and
what they are called, and it is making it impossible for anyone else to
understand what you're talking about.
"PXE" is a specification, and an interface compliant

Since pxeboot is loaded over the network, you might not
be able to mount the root fs and read /boot/loader.rc.
I was just trying to set the default case to assume serial console

Nothing probes for a console, apart from boot2 in the boot-from-disk case
if the -P flag is found in /boot.config.
Okay. Maybe I used the word probe incorrectly. As I understand

I hate to disagree but my setup loads pxeboot
from /tftpboot (as per the tftp line in inetd.conf)
and my DHCP options specify the root fs as /pxeroot.
pxeboot loads /boot/loader.rc from /pxeroot. It's
confusing I know. It also appears to load /pxeboot
via tftp and /boot/loader.rc via NFS.
