Hello, I am running FreeBSD on a 486-2DX box, in a heterogeneous networked LAN environment, Win 95, 98, 2K & Mac - Samba coordinated. Now, I would like to run the FreeBSD boxes headless (sans keyboard, mouse, monitor etc.) How can I do this. I can manage & use the system through one of the other networked systems however on booting the sys. I'll need the keyboard and even monitor - any suggestions welcomed. Thanks -- Joe --

ThanksThis really isn't a samba problem. If you can't get FreeBSD this, go bug a freebsd user's list. I'll assure you however that FreeBSD can do this. Hint: BIOS settings.
