Are these supervisor cards unique to IBM & HP? Can the card be bought separately and will they work on generic motherboard? Do you have URL for info on these supervisor cards? -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Peter Pauly Sent: Friday, June 11, 2004 1:07 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Upgrading FreeBSD to a new release On Sun, Jun 06, 2004 at 11:41:15PM +0200, Roman Kennke wrote: > Hi list, > > One thing, that is making me _not_ using FreeBSD is, that I see no way > to easily upgrade from, say 5.1 to 5.2 (just an example), over network. This may or may not be an option for you: both IBM and HP (Compaq) offer remote supervisor cards that offer network access to the machine, even when it is booting, etc. You can use it to access the BIOS, watch the machine boot, get into single user mode, etc, all from your chair in another city. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
