% Interesting approach, but it may well be RH specific.

Indeed. Using OpenLinux from The Company Whose Name I Shall Not Mention,
you could press Ctrl+d to dump PNG screenshots from the installer into the
RAM disk's /tmp filesystem. You had to move them out of /tmp before 
rebooting because they would go away, but it was a darn handy feature 
for taking screenshots for manuals and such.

In your case, Bill, you might be able to send the console output to
a serial port and take your screenshots that way. Another method is
to load the console framebuffer and then do, more or less, 

# cp /dev/fb0 somefile

I don't know what the output format is, but this is a start.
