Hi Guys,

I hope you can help me on this problem, or at least give me 
a hint or two.

I'm trying to install FreeBSD-4.4/Alpha on an older 
Multia-System. (booting from the 2 disk as the machine has 
no cd-rom attached) The Multia has a monitor, keyboard and 
mouse 
attached to it, but after booting the kernel I get the 
message "/stand/sysinstall running as init in serial 
console" (or so) and a menu where i can select from 5 
different terminal-emulations.

As I do not have a console cable I cannot use the console. 
Is there a way, I can force sysinstall to use the graphical 
console? -P or -h did not show any effect at all (-P was an 
unknown option?)

Any hints, what I have to do to get sysinstall fetching the 
right console?
