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 computers like this one, i thought about migrating into freebsd. I guess in linuxterm's i need a kernel and a rootdisk with the install package. I tried the ones from the cd, it didn't give me any output on the serial port. (that i know workes, since before it loads the kernel i have to type what it should boot ...) Please help :)
