originally i thought i would get a PC Weasel to turn my FreeBSD server into something i could >really< manage from the console. (PC Weasel info is at http://www.realweasel.com/intro.html). for those who don't know about this product, it's a card which allows you to see pre-boot messages from a remote console. i saw it mentioned on slasdhot earlier this week. i then heard that some motherboard/BIOS combinations do this too. since i need to upgrade my machine anyhow, i can kill 2 birds with one stone by getting such a system and skipping the Weasel. can anyone suggest a motherboard/BIOS that does this? i'm not picky about the CPU, any current models would likely be plenty fast. ultimately i'll connect this into a yet-to-be-purchased terminal server which will manage my whole machine room. ---matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
