Won't work as root login to sshd is disabled.  You will need to login as a 
user and su - to get root.

Just connect an HDMI display and add a usb keyboard.  Then boot it and after 
it is finished expanding the filesystem top use the whole sd card.  Login and 
add a user. making sure the added user is also in the wheel group.  I also use 
a static ipv4 address so when I try to ssh in I will know the ip.

Now you can connect it on your network and ssh in and install ports and build 
whatever you need.

One of the first things I build is screen so I can detach and log out ( break 
ssh connection ) and it will still build what ever package.  If you are not 
using screen when you log out of your ssh connection your build will stop.

Building ports can take a long time, some over nite.
