Re: Not sure how to do this tricky install...

This is only somewhat related, but would it be possible to have
the getty on ttyd0 enabled by default, at least for the install cd?
I haven't tried to log into the installer account over the network,
but this does sound like the best option if you have a dhcp
server in place. If you do this though, don't forget to configure
PermitRootLogin to yes in /etc/sshd_config before you reboot,
otherwise you will be locked out of the machine before you can
finish configuring it.

*Much* safer to deny direct root login (from anywhere) and install a wheel user
that can su.
That could be a default account (installer), but a locally-seelcted name is much
more secure than anything well-known.
The old *BSD 'amnesiac' root default is devastatingly insecure with the present
level of massive automated root attempts sloshing about the 'net.
