Re: [Soekris] Installing FreeBSD 8.0 on Soekris net5501

You don't, strictly speaking, need the serial console.  I recently
installed FreeBSD 8.0 on a 4801.  I had it connected via serial
to my laptop, to see the messages if something went wrong, but I
never actually used the serial connection.  I netbooted the box
and then ssh'ed in.  For this to work you need to set up
/etc/ssh/sshd_config in your exported root filesytem to allow root
logins.  I agree that it's much better to have the serial connection
working, but in a pinch you can get by without it.
