How is this done with no keyboard? This keyboard issue is a motherboard problem...there is no fix other than finding a way to remote access thorough the network But I am going to move the drive back to another computer for testing..and this time I am using the very same rl0. So maybe when I put the HD and NIC back in this keyboardless motherboard I will have a greater chance of success. I was kind of hoping I would be able to find a way to connect to the box without using IP (which is obviously not working) and avoid the entire processing of tearing the box apart to fix this thing. But it seems the only route available at this point. -Jason ----- Original Message ----- From: "Toomas Aas" <toomas.aas@raad.tartu.ee> To: "Jason Cribbins" <freebsdlist@kibserv.org>; <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> Sent: Wednesday, April 10, 2002 1:28 PM Subject: Re: setup freebsd with no keyboard : Hi Jason! : : On 10 Apr 02 at 7:23 you wrote: : : > : > I am trying to setup a computer that has no keyboard.
