Maybe a stupid question, but is it possible to have a i386 machine configured with FDE to automatically direct to serial console BEFORE the passphrase prompt?
The steps below require the machine to have an attached keyboard and monitor initially. If I hit Enter at the passphrase prompt, the boot prompt will appear and let me switch to serial console: > set tty com0 >From the serial console I can the type: > boot sr0a:/bsd which gives me the passphrase prompt again on the console machine. It would be really nice to be able to boot a headless FDE. Am I missing something? Is this design by intention? Cheers, Erling
