I may be wrong but... I think that depends on the hardware (and the BIOS), not on the specific OS that you are using. The loader is in charge of loading the OS, it is not possible to launch a redirection program at the loader stage. Any plateform that do not offer PS/2 port (but I expet them to offer USB port anyway) will offer some kind of keayboard/screen redirection (on serial, ethernet...)
