    FYI, you can set the IP configuration for IPMI via ipmitool 1.6.
    I have a minimal openipmi compatible driver for ipmitool to work
    on FreeBSD. I need to do some work on it before it can be released.
    This let's me configure IPMI via FreeBSD without going into the BIOS
    config tool.
