Hmmm. The DRAC card can save you a long drive sometimes. You actually
get to look at the hardware boot process and can even adjust
BIOS settings if needed. To get to a FreeBSD console, I think that
the OS actually needs to boot.

The DRAC lets you control the server BEFORE the OS is even loaded,
all through a browser interface.
