I'm getting a new Dell server delivered to our corporate datacenter. There is a serial console available there. What is the process for installing FreeBSD remotely by logging in to the serial console? I'm assuming that I can get a tech in the datacenter to put a FreeBSD install disc into the CD drive, and take it from there, but I've never used a serial console and don't know what the process is. I'm trying to avoid having to either travel to the datacenter myself, or to get the server shipped to me here for installation and then shipped down to the datacenter. Thanks. Jesse Sheidlower
