Booting into single-user via serial console, KVM, KVM-over-IP, or iLO/LOM (if HP/Compaq) is sufficient. If you have servers which are remote and you lack any of these features, I'm both surprised and not sure what to tell you. You'll encounter this problem with any OS, not just FreeBSD. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
