For accessing BIOS, you need to get a MB that supports this. Intel makes a few I believe. For installing FreeBSD on a headless system, it's my understanding that if there's no keyboard detected, the kernel will default to a serial console. I'm not sure what speed this runs at, but it's probably 9600 8n1. You'll need to try it to find out for sure. -- Troy Settle Pulaski Networks 540.994.4254 ** -----Original Message----- ** From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG ** [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Victor R. ** Cardona ** Sent: Saturday, September 02, 2000 8:34 PM ** To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org ** Subject: installing on a system without a monitor? ** ** ** Hi everyone, ** ** Can someone please point me to any documentation, or give me any ** instructions on installing FBSD on a headless system?
