Current Openshift console display is using a graphical only output which is only usable from the iLo/iDRAC/BMC webpage and is not parsable.
The addition of a text serial console would be useful for easier engineer access to the console using tools such as ipmi-console or redfish/ssh without having to reboot the server to configure the boot line. 
This is also very useful in a CI environment where we could monitor the console for logs during the entire boot  

    Always

    1. Boot OpenShift
    2. access the text console via idmi-console or SSH to Redfish endpoint
    3.
    

    No console output

    interactive text console output of the entire boot sequence

    To add text console output to the current graphical only configuration, I used the following kernel parameters:

nomodeset console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8
