It didn't work for me with a DEC Express. It gave me some strange error but wouldn't actually run. Even if you could get it to work, you still have no way to install except with a serial console. I found ssh was by far the easiest thing to do since it comes with an ssh server already. What you would have to do is first somehow get it installed, ssh to it from another machine, either see if it is in the ports collection or compile it by hand, make sure a synth is plugged in or set up software speech and finally see if it runs. If you actually get it to work, I would be very interested. It didn't work for me. Again, even at that, you still won't hear boot messages and the like so if the system crashes or doesn't boot, you would never know. Good luck though. I don't see any way of avoiding ssh to at least compile the source no matter what, but there are smarter people than I who might have an answer. My only other question is why bother? Unless your job requires use of BSD in which case you can use ssh anyway, why not just stay with Linux which is already very accessible?
