Hello

Im new to this list and new to freebsd, actually i havent installed it yet.
The thing is i have to use PXE to install it, and there is NO floppy,NO
cdrom or VGA on this computer.

Now you might wonder what is it you are installing? It's a motorola 5360.

Its capable of pxebooting, (im from the linux world) hda is a 16M cf
Hdb is a standard harddrive. User interface is a serialport, running
@38400,8n1. NIC is a eepro100

The computer is currently installed with linux, but since i have many compu=
ters like this one, i thought about migrating into freebsd.

I guess in linuxterm's i need a kernel and a rootdisk with the install pack=
age. I tried the ones from the cd, it didn't give me any output on the se=
rial port. (that i know workes, since before it loads the kernel i have t=
o type what it should boot ...)
Serial port is running @38400,8n1=20

i saw this page http://matt.simerson.net/computing/freebsd.netboot.shtml
it gave me some hint, but since i dont have freebsd on the install server i=
 have problem.
install server i also a cpn5360 and has debian running as OS. 

Please help :)
