Yeah, that could work, perhaps with the iso on a usb drive or something. There're some accessible Linux liveCDs I could use I think. I guess I'd set it up so that it used the hdd on the box then do the install to that. I'd probably still need an image that could use a serial console though since I remember the other interfaces didn't work that well, but may be they've changed a bit. > But yes, in the case of NetBSD, it would be easier to run sshd or > do an automated install. (Unfortunately, I don't know how to do it). Agreed, if such a thing is possible.
