BPoller Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Hi there,i have an old FreeBSD-based web-server on which i want to install a Network-MS-DOS.Problem: The System has no vga-connector, just a small LCD-display, which i couldnt use.Later i want to control the system thru terminal-emulation and TCP/IP, but because i dont know the network-card-vendor/type, which is installed, its complicated to install a working Network-MS-DOS.Is there any MS-DOS-Tool, with which i could get the console and my typings thru a 9-pin-serial connector to another pc?That would make my search for a working netcard-driver easier. Cause, i could configure such a serial-system on an other pc and just plug the hdd to the vga-less-server.Maybe someone could give me a tip.Thanks in advance,B.Poller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaclaz Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Most probably NOT the answer you seek, but did you try a "universal" boot disk, like this very good one:http://www.netbootdisk.com/This usually covers 99% of NIC's jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
