Hello,
IF you have another computer running an accessible operating system
(Windows, Linux, what ever), you can connect that computer to the one you would like to install
FreeBSD on via a serial cable, and use the accessible computer as a
terminal to perform the installation. At the brief pause as soon as the
kernel floppy begins to boot, type -h and press RETURN - you should get
speech sent at 9600 baud through the first serial port of the
soon-to-be-FreeBSD machine.
Thanks,
Ivan Fetch.
