I have been running it headless, but the only thing I really did to make it headless was to remove the keyboard and monitor. I looked through the handbook to see what it had to say about running headless servers, but I cannot find anything specifically related to it. Is there a document anywhere that gives a good overview of running and maintaining a headless FreeBSD server? Other than rerouting the console to the serial port is there really anything else to do?
