I think the dirtiest remote install I've done was installing FreeBSD 6.X on a QEMU VM with zeroed raw disk image, then dd | gzip | netcat to a failsafe linux the hosting provided, and from there overwriting the hard disk with shell redirection.
- ben_bai 11y agoOh my, that's nothing ;-) All I had was a minimal debian install with ssh access. So I installed QEMU, and over ssh with X11-forwarding i started it up using debians /dev/sda as the QEMU harddrive (yes you can: qemu-system-x86_64 -hda /dev/sda -cdrom install57.iso -boot d -m 256). Now install it without deleting debians partition. An then add the OpenBSD bootentry to grub. Dual boot remote server!
