Had to get a modified boot floppy for this though. It can be installed if you use something like minicom on one end and the FreeBSD installer at the other. One problem I had though was after the install and everything I disconnected the serial cable and the system wouldn't boot on its own. Never really figured out how to stop sending the boot messages to the serial port after I was finished using it nad didn't need to have serial access anymore. One more note I can think of. You can only do the install using the first serial port on the FreeBSD machine. Tom On Sat, Jun 11, 2005 at 04:22:56PM -0500, Gregory Nowak wrote: > Depends what bsd you're talking about.
