On installation (have monitor, keyboard then), I remove all but the console port (in case I need to hook up for some reason). getty doesn't get out of control. The BIOS is set to ignore all errors, and the kernel doesn't really care if there's a keyboard or not. -Troy ** -----Original Message----- ** From: Gary Kline [mailto:kline@tera.com] ** Sent: Friday, July 10, 2893 6:44 PM ** To: Troy Settle ** Cc: kline@tera.com; questions@freebsd.org ** Subject: Re: running headless ** ** ** According to Troy Settle: ** > ** > I've got 5 or 6 boxes running headless.
