Hi guys. How do I force the FreeBSD to do a serial port based install? I'm installing on to a laptop, but want to control the install from a serial port on another machine because I can not see the screen on the laptop. I tried modifying the boot.flp image and putting a file called boot.conf with the following line in it: /boot/loader -h This didn't seem to work? Am I modifying the wrong image for this or should I modify one of the kernel images? Please advise what I should do next. Thanks, Tom -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
