Hi guys,
I'm trying to install FreeNas 8 on a headless server and am struggling trying to make it work.
The server is headless, no keyboard, no monitor. it has an onboard gpu but no vga port. all I have for connectivity is a serial port.
Alternatives? yes, solder a vga port to the mbd but i'd rather not for several reasons.
So, right now I'm stuck at the menu. If you're wondering how I got this far, I made a bootable 2GB USB drive and luckily, the server is already configured to boot from removable media first.
My question is if headless install over serial console is supported. If so, what changes are required?
Thanks in advance.
