Out-of-band management, e.g. DRAC, does work from boot up. But that's for servers and a few high-end desktops. But you have to ask yourself, how often are you messing with the BIOS and/or firmware?
VMs are a nice solution, too: minimal OS + hypervisor on the hardware, then full OS in a VM. For example, VMWare's ESXi. You can view and manage the boot up from within a browser. That said, I've had very good experiences with Avocent KVM over IP switches. They are wonderful for managing bare metal in distant data centers or just across the room.
