Can your hardware do serial boot? If so, IP remote console is even easier than firing up sshd... If you're brave, you *could* make a catalyst CD that sets the password upon boot and then starts sshd for you... Although I'd suggest waiting until catalyst is officially released before trying that. -- Ciaran McCreesh Mail: ciaranm at gentoo.org Web: http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
