Not sure if this made it into b1 or not, but I believe on at least the
most recent snaps you only need to install to hard drive (on the
surrogate host) and configure it for serial console via the web UI.
Technically the 4801 never really needed a serial only kernel - the
WRAP did due to BIOS differences that caused FreeBSD to hang (or
crash?) on boot with a VGA kernel. The Soekris BIOS was a little more
superior in that regard...FreeBSD has since worked around the issue.

Hi,
I was looking at installing 1.2 beta on the net4801. I don't have CF, I
have a laptop hard drive in the beast. I find 1.0.1 runs quite nicely on
it vs. running it on CF.
My question is that with the 1.0.1 install, I had to use a surrogate
host to prep the hard drive, install a different kernel that dealt with
the net4801's quirks, and set serial on console. Is the procedure still
relatively the same for 1.2b1? If I wanted to try the new beta, is there
anything I should watch out for?
