DRAC configuration

[Kristoffer Knigga]

The DRAC gives no such option.  The only think that is displayed
on-screen at boot is something to the effect of "Dell Remote Access Card
2 Detected".

If there is an unadvertised key combination that will get me in to some
sort of config utility, please let me know.

Thanks!

Kris

configure it from the console at boot time ?
