Hello :-) With my friend Jacek we have tried to perform PXE installation of FreeBSD 9 on an i386 embedded system for one project. This required adding "-h" or "comconsole" to the /boot/loader.conf so the input-output is done with serial console port, not video console. However, after installation, on this embedded system with no video console, system seems to be configured to use videoconsole by default... Is it possible to add this nice feature to the new installer that would recognise if installation is done with serial-port-console and then setup the installed system to work with serial-port-console by default not the videoconsole? We could try it out on 9.2-RC2 if possible :-) Best regards! :-) Tomek -- CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.info
