There seems to be more than one way to do this. My favorite is to create a file named /boot.config with it's only contents being "-P". This sets you up to use the graphics screen if the kernel detects a keyboard is plugged in, otherwise it uses the serial port. See boot(8) for details, in particular the section named Boot flags. -Mitch To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
