Syslinux - May 2007 - PXELinux - Can I show the hardware address?

I have been using PXELINUX for a few years now to boot our school's PCs. 
For a while I've had the school logo and blank background fill the 
screen to make it look more professional, but that means I can't see the 
hardware address or IP address a machine gets.

Is there a way to insert the hardware address somewhere on the screen 
other than when PXELINUX first starts up and blurts out a pile of text?
I'm thinking worst case I might be able to insert it into the boot 
prompt, maybe printed on the line above. Would that be easy to do?

It is :-)

There are functions in pxelinux.0
 that get the hardware address
 convert that address in a string
 print a string
