There is no real fix for that, other than fixing PXELINUX.

Dave Johnson has a version of pxelinux that he hacked to only output to serial:
http://centerclick.org/net4801/pxelinux/

I use his pxelinux.0 renamed to soekpxe.0 in my /tftpboot directory.  Then in 
the stanza for the soekris box, I tell it a different filename option from our 
standard one, thusly:

host soekris1 {
	hardware ethernet 00:00:24:c2:85:78;
         fixed-address 10.0.14.1;
	filename "soekpxe.0";
}

I've found this to be fairly workable.
