I don't see how this helps at all for people trying to install from the ISOs. True the kernel might continue to boot it you set console=ttyB, but it is hardly going to respond to the network. It hasn't been given an IP address, isn't running inetd, etc. If you were to create a configured system somehow (on nfsroot perhaps) you might be able to boot and access the system via the network.
