If you have a keyboard lock switch on your case, use it. It really does work under FreeBSD, assuming you've installed it properly. :-) 2. Take away the keyboards. 3. Take away the displays and the keyboards. 4. Disable the vty's in /etc/ttys. But you won't be able to log in by the console either once the system finishes booting. But this is what serial consoles are for. :-) Hope this helps. Note that once someone gains access to the system case, then there's always <reset> and boot -s.
