samba - Dec 2001 - Headless - FreeBSD x SAMBA sys. How to?

Hello,

I am running FreeBSD on a 486-2DX box, in a heterogeneous networked LAN
environment, Win 95, 98, 2K & Mac - Samba coordinated.  Now, I would
like
to run the FreeBSD boxes headless (sans keyboard, mouse, monitor etc.)
How
can I do this. I can manage & use the system through one of the other
networked
systems however on booting the sys. I'll need the keyboard and even
monitor -
any suggestions welcomed. Thanks

This really isn't a samba problem.  If you can't get FreeBSD this, go
bug a freebsd user's list.

I'll assure you however that FreeBSD can do this.

Hint:  BIOS settings.
