Hi,

I have SSH root access to a Linux box that booted from a CD.

How to install NetBSD here? I have NO keyboard or serial console access, 
so the system must come up with a sshd permitting me to log in.

I'd do like this:

- Install in a qemu harddisk image, on a different machine
- fdisk the Linux box, making a partition as large as the qemu image
- dd image contents starting after partition table to the linux HD

Hm. Will this work? Any better idea?

Thanks
Florian
