You might want to check out ethercons, but you'll probably have to roll your own boot CD with this included. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Elliot Crosby-McCullough Sent: Tuesday, December 27, 2005 07:13 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: sysinstall full install remotely with no serial console, possible? Hey guys. Basically in my situation I have a broken server in colo with no serial=20 console. It works for the most part but write access to / is gone, and=20 all attempts at repair are not coming about. I'd like to reinstall all but /home (has a seperate slice), however I=20 would have to do so via SSH without the aid of a serial console, and=20 with no CD in the drive. I know sysinstall can run from the OS, and it can install over the=20 network, is it possible to run this full installation remotely in this=20 way, given that it's starting from an installed and configured OS?
