Headless System via serial port?

[Eric F Crist]

Hey all,

I tried compiling the RELENG_5_2 set of sources last night.  It failed.
Now, I can't su to root to update to the 5.1 sources and I have to
either get my big-ass monitor out of the back room, or get this thing
setup to work over a serial console for these emergencies.  Can someone
tell me what I have to do to get this sort of support?  The only thing I
can seem to find in the handbook is the headless install setup.

BTW, I realize to fix this particular instance, I'm going to have to get
the monitor and keyboard out.

TIA
