I use remote IP KVM to do my upgrades. Occasionally, I can't get my keybord
input to get boot bsd.rd fast enough, so I just replace bsd with bsd.rd and

can just kick down to shell, mv bsd back and reboot. All works just

which i don't have and am looking for a workaround. maybe bsd.rd should

Related to that, the old HP/Compaq Remote Insight Board products work
well in non-Compaq hardware, and give remote access to KVM (web/Java
interface) and serial (Java or ssh). http://webdevsys.com/lightsOut.htm

like this: fetch the latest bsd.rd from ftp. replace /bsd.rd.
