You can have multiple console arguments to the kernel so it directs
tty-type output to all the consoles you mention.
One (the last, I think) is used for input, so minicom attached to
/dev/ttyS0 could be used to drive it, and folk could admire proceedings
on other consoles.
Don't forget you also have the abiltiy to use vnc and (I think) ssh to
control/monitor the progress (good for zSeries).
You still have to boot from time to time; if your install is actually
working, you can add a stanza to grub's menu to reinstall.
You can also have another partition.
