Is there no way to default it to the serial console before putting the hard drive in the 5501 except this procedure? This means I have to have a piece of hardware with VGA, keyboard and 2 NIC cards that also will connect a SATA II drive. I don't have that sort of hardware laying around that is not in use.
I appreciate trying to get around modifying the image, but I really need to do it that way due to the hardware constraints. What I really need is a how-to modify the image to have serial enabled on a full pfsense version. Is it as simple as modifying the default config.xml file in the image?
