X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.01 (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE i386) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: kernel for no video or keyboard X-URL: http://www.freebsd.org/support.html Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I am looking to make a kernel for a machine that is a headless server, i.e. has no video card or keyboard. Only a getty/console on a serial port. Aside from removing the sc or vt driver, is there anything else I should do to keep it from probing or trying to configure, and so that after the actual kernel has been loaded into memory that it dumps its proceedings to the first serial port? Thanks again, I love this OS, Dan -- danj@netcom.com Dan Janowski New York, NY
