SSH and view textmode at boot (serial rdr in bios too?) and console @ serial in fbsd (bootloader and on). Does that work good or "not to well" either? Lets hope it works out good now at least, I ordered the box, without full license though, but I guess I can always get that later on if it turns out to work like crap.. But for once I'm purchasing quality brand hardware.. So it should work with me instead of against me... I hope :) Thank you all for all of your replies!
