Hi, I understand that FreeBSD supports the use of the serial port as a console device. I would like to take advantage of this feature, however, I still need to be able to do new installs on these same machines from time to time. Are serial consoles supported in some way for 'sysinstall'ing on a new machine without having to have a keyboard/monitor connected? Is this supported out of the box, or does it, perhaps, require a special kernel for the boot disk to be built-in during the make release process? Is anyone doing this? Any help/pointers are appreciated!
