Hello

Im new to this list and new to freebsd, actually i havent installed it
yet.
The thing is i have to use PXE to install it, and there is NO floppy,NO
cdrom or VGA on this computer.

Now you might wonder what is it you are installing? It's a motorola
5360.

Its capable of pxebooting, (im from the linux world) hda is a 16M cf
Hdb is a standard harddrive. User interface is a serialport, running
@38400,8n1. NIC is a eepro100

The computer is currently installed with linux, but since i have many
computers like this one, i thought about migrating into freebsd.

I guess in linuxterm's i need a kernel and a rootdisk with the install
package. I tried the ones from the cd, it didn't give me any output on
the serial port. (that i know workes, since before it loads the kernel i
have to type what it should boot ...)

Please help :)
