hi folks
I have some old machines (amd400s) which I'm using for education
I only have the one spare monitor and I don't have a KVM switch at the
mo and I'm sick of moving the connectors
they are all on the same network as my BSD and Linux box is it
possible to reload the os using remote log-in

I've done a lot of searching and maybe this capability doesn't exist,
but I am looking to do this:
I am at my company's HQ, we have a new field office that I am setting
up a FreeBSD server. The technical knowledge at the site windows only,
so I basically have someone I can have put a CD in
Hi,
Had to install freebsd on a machine without a floppy disk nor a cd drive.
This machine is on the lan. Is there any way I can install freebsd from
another freebsd machine in the lan.

I have a remote machine running 4.8-p21. The system has two disks in
it, but only one is used on a daily basis (the other is filled via dd
every now and then).
I want to get this remote machine running 6.2, so I figured I'ld
install the new OS on the second disk, then boot off the second disk,

Can you explain in more detail how to make a CD boot up FreeBSD and run a
script? I haven't find any good resource on google. Alternatively, if you
can provide a link.

OK. First, it was someone else who posted. I was one of the responders.
My mistake! Sorry about this.
That can be a good way of doing it. I have posted a list of steps
for doing essentially that (slightly different circumstances) a
couple of times in the past.
But there is one disadvant

Hi all,
At some point after my original installation of v.7-BETA3 in late
November and a subsquent upgrade to BETA4 with Colin Percival's
freebsd-update, installing packages remotely with pkg_add on my system
broke. For example:
$ sudo pkg_add -vr rtorrent
scheme: [ftp]
user: []
password: [
Hello,
Is there a way (or what is the best way) for installing freebsd remotely? I
have a nontechnical person at the site that can put in a cd or enter a few
commands, but the thought of walking through a full install via the phone is
not fun. I would prefer to be able to use ssh for configuring.
