Hi!
I was wondering if anybody had any experience with installing
OpenBSD on a remote system without physical access to the machine.
I have a virtual server in Germany which runs Debian Etch and I'm
pretty fed up with it and I want to install OpenBSD on it.
This is a virtual server which runs under a Virtuozzo environment. I
can boot it with a Linux live system.
My idea was to set up an OpenBSD system at home, dump it, upload the
image to the server and restore the image to the hard drive using the
live system. I don't know how to install the boot loader yet.
This server is just a free time project of me and a friend of mine so
it's not so important if it's down for some time. If anything goes
wrong I can restore the original Debian system or boot it with a live
system.
I'm pretty sure Virtuozzo/OpenVZ only support Linux, and not *BSD virtual
machines.
Best regards,
Jona Joachim
