Typicaly, for my BSD installs, I do a serial console. Recently, I did a machine without a serial port. In that case, I built a bootable USB flash disk with all I needed, and had it startup an sshd on a known IP address. Once in, I can then run the system from there, and initialize the hard drive, check all the drivers and make sure all will work before building an installation on the hardware itself that will come up talking. -Brian
