If so, can you provide me with the magic incantation to get this to work? I have added 'boot_multicons="YES"' to /boot/loader.conf. I have power-cycled the server. And I cannot still establish a connection using ipmitool. ipmitool -H 192.168.44.3 -U admin -I lanplus sol activate IPMI LAN send command failed IPMI LAN send command failed The built in web server works. But the zealots at Mozilla have puritanised Firefox to the point where the web console no longer works. I need to have some way to talk to this chassis remotely while it is booting. I am open to any reasonable suggestion. -- *** e-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** Do NOT transmit sensitive data via e-Mail Do NOT open attachments nor follow links sent by e-Mail James B.
