It is all described in readmes. You need to have at least one ethernet
card on each machine (depending on what and which OS do you want to
test) to be connected.
On one machine TN (tester node) you need FreeBSD installed (personally,
I use FreeBSD 7.0) and on the second machine NUT (node under test), you
need OS you want to test.
v6eval and test sets would be installed and run on TN and configured
according provided readme files.
Then just enter directory where you have test sets unpacked (or
installed, see readmes) and run "make test" or something else (see
readme and makefiles).

Serial connection is needed to automate process of testing. You can live
without it, but doing everything manually is pain.
During tests it is needed to perform several actions on NUT repeatedly
(ie. restart computer and so), and as these tests take several hours,
you'd be asked to restart PC some hundred times, disable or enable
something and so.
Serial console allows you to automate this. If you use proper "remotes",
these can perform automatic login to NUT and run needed commands.
So you just let those tests work overnight and when you return to work,
you have all results.
I _strongly_ suggest to use serial console.

Actually, yes. I'd suggest serial, but using Lan will work, too.
Generally in same manner. You just need proper remotes to be used.

Everything is described in readmes. You need at least 1 ethernet (see
readme for test set, as these vary) and either serial or one more
eternet for sending commands to NUT. That is why I make just some
generic suggestions as tests simply vary and I don't remember all settings.
