Oh shock !!! Oh horror !!!! ......... and I thought FreeBSD boxes were like
Rollers
and NEVER broke down.  :)

As I recall it captures the text in a console .... that means its a much
smaller file
than a BMP / JPG / whatever.  Probably OK for the early "white text on black
screen" screens if there's a way to run "script". I guess it would need to
be done on a different machine somehow since the install one doesn't have an
O/S at that stage. If I could comprehend what Alfred Perlstein was on about
with installing via serial cable it might be possible.
