      hello,

      I have a soekris net6501 appliance with a msata of 8GB.

      Soekris only has a serial (no VGA) and it's impossible to boot either on USB installation key or on DVD usb drive due to BIOS issue.

      I'd like to avoid nanobsd and perform a full installation (for using entire space disk of my msata), and I've not idea how to proceed.

      -> use boot usb key is impossible
      -> i only have a serial output

      Any help will be appreciated ^^

      thank you

        Install an older version that will boot on that box (e.g. 2.1.x) and then upgrade.
