I use something similar:
http://u
this is the setup I use to upgrade and install on my remote server.
It works great. This would probably be a good purchase since you
could use it again in the future on other, later systems.

I have an interesting (and fairly technical) question.
the question is: how can I forward the install screen via ssh to another

Ben,
that is what I am hoping to find. transplanting from one hardware set to
another is definitely problematic. also, the idea of looking for a com board
is not a bad one. those are considerably cheaper and may offer what I need.

Those 1U rack-mount machines can be rather noisy. If you don't need rack-mount
then HP ML110 G5 is a small tower machine which also has iLo 100, and is
significantly quieter.

think about it for a second. that would require the bootloader to have
a usb stack. very much different than an isa device at a fixed address.
theroetically the kernel itself could use a usb cerea
thanks for the info. I tried looking that up in google and got so many hits of
a non-relivant nature that I gave up on it.

You could use yaifo, this is a framework to build a custom install kernel
which includes
ok, that is some new info I didn't have. it is going to have to wait for a few
months though as I have no spare funds. still, though, it is still
considerably than the $300+ I would have had to spend on a new
MB/daughterboard, ram and cpu.

no kidding about the expensive part. a stand alone unit (designed for a pci-e

I have one, and no, it doesn't work. Not until after the system is
installed.
The only option I think might hold promise (but it's gonna cost) is
one of those remote management cards. Sun had a LOM card that you
could SSH to, and then access a console from it...
I think you can get one of those

That was what I thought, too. But now I wonder about using yaifo from a
desktop running a vnc server. It might work.
