Is there a way to install an image file from a server to a computer using a cd
that was burned with OpenBSD's cd40.iso?

Details:

I created an image of a computer and sent it to an ftp server after booting
from a cd that was burned with OpenBSD's cd40.iso.  Here is the command I used
after logging into the ftp server:

put |"dd if=/dev/rwd0c bs=64k" imagefilename

Is there a way to put that imagefilename back on a different computer using
OpenBSD's cd40.iso cd?

Why?:

I've received a few new computers that I have to configure.  I've mentioned on
this list of a setup I've created for doing images using netbootdisk.com,
samba, and ghost.  Everything boots up okay but Ghost crashes.  So I resorted
to g4u which is based of netbsd, the os that can supposedly run on any type of
computer.  Well netbsd didn't like the hard drive on this new computer.  It
crashed before completing it's boot up.  So I resorted to g4l, which is just
like g4u but based on linux.  It booted up fine but when I went to create an
image, it did nothing.  So I tried openbsd on a whim and got the image to an
ftp server.  This is farther the all the other things I tried.  I'm not an
unix guru and getting the image to the server I figured out by google, but I
couldn't find anything on google to retrieve the image.
