Hi everybody, I have stuck trying to setup headless (w/o keyboard, monitor) server. I can force kernel and boot to use serial console via COMCONSOLE and FORCE_COMCOMSOLE compile options, but README.serial in /usr/src/sys/i386/boot/biosboot states that default behaviour of bootstrap code is as follows: if it detects keyboard it starts with video console, if no it switches to serial console. I can't get it to work this way. It seems that bootstrap doesn't detect that keyboard is absent. Can somebody give some sound advices?
