I'm running FreeBSD 5 (both 5.2.1 and -CURRENT), and I'm curious if it is possible to have a non-graphical/VGA console? We have a server with an IPMI module, but it cannot redirect VGA consoles through the LAN; they must be plain text. So right now it works up to the loader, then I lose access to the remote console because FreeBSD switches to VGA mode. I've tried some things similar to the info in the post below already to no avail: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2003-December/004568. html Please CC me via email, too. TIA, -- Robert
