It quite easy to do with grml:
I have a PXE boot set up which identify the hardware for an automated
recovery:
Basicaly I load via boot options a perl script ( netscript=server/file)
which mounts a nfs drive, does a "hwinfo" converts the output to XML
and saves that to the nfs, I use only "hwinfo --bios" to get some serial
numbers - but "hwinfo --all" should to the trick for you.
XML because its quite nice to query the hwinfo information with xpath.
