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:

Please CC me via email, too.

TIA,
