this was posted a while back, in boot.config you can eithe use -h which will force all output to the serial, or -P which will detect for a keyboard, if none attached will use serial .. Here is the recipe: 1. Use physdiskwrite.exe (if you use Windows) to prime the CompactFlash with the "Generic PC" image ; 2. Download "m0n0wall Live Installer" wich is basically a LiveCD version of FreeBSD specially made to make mods of the m0n0wall image files. The URL is: http://chrisbuechler.com/index.php?id=17 3. Boot the ISO (either in a virtual machine in a product like VMware - use a Physical Disk for your CF if you go for VMware - or on a physical machine); 4. Type camcontrol devlist OR atacontrol list (depending if the CF card is appearing as a SCSI or IDE drive - try both) to know of BSD has seen your CF card and to know the device name under it appear; 5. Mount the CF card in FreeBSD with these commands: # mkdir /mnt/cf # mount /dev/da0 /mnt/cf (if da0 is the name if your CF card in BSD) # cd /mnt/dev 6. Create a file called boot.config located at the root of the mounted image (ie /mnt/cf in this example) with vi and just put "-h" without the quotes in this file and save it. 7. Type these commands: # sync # cd .. # umount cf 8. Shutdown the LiveCD by issuing a reboot command or init 0 and you're done. This enable the Serial Console in the Boot blocks, during the Boot loader and set the Console to serial for the kernel.

I have a firebox II that I've been working on for a week or so now that I can't get the keyboard header to work at all on and I obviously can't get into the web interface yet to make any changes.
