I've got a 486 DX2/66 that I've managed to get bridging with ipfw 
between my DSL and LAN. Since I have a bunch of systems and not much 
room on the KVM switch, and this is effectively an appliance once 
it's tuned properly, I'd like to make it headless- remove the video 
and keyboard entirely, making it accessible via ssh or nullmodem only.

It currently has an old VESA VGA card in it. Ideally, I'd like to 
make the configuration changes, shut down the system, take out the 
card, and start it back up again in headless mode.

Any thoughts, comments, or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Regards,

Corey Snow
