Hello,
But why you don't use "make installworld ; make installkernel ; reboot ;
mergemaster"? It works fine for me from remote login.
But _this_ is not very good (there are some cautions in handbook,
UPDATING etc.) But it is worked for me at least 3 times.
Q:
Also, is it possible to use serial console with autoanswering modem?
If it is possible, then you can just use serial console, and "normal" way:
goto single model make installworld ; make installkernel ; reboot ; mergemaster
Udachi :-)
