Just one question: Why do you use a KVM System to Access a Unix box 
(FreeBSD) ? You could easily use serial access, even during installation.
If you're lucky your BIOS is new enough to support Redirection to Serial 
Port.
If not, and if you don't need to access the BIOS, a serial console 
server should fit much better into your environment.

Just some thoughts ...

best regards,
Marian
