This would be useful for many things besides a fresh install, of course
-- for example, cloning a disk or doing remote forensics on a
potentially compromised server that can't be accessed physically.
Apart from running sshd, this sounds a lot like "boot into bsd.rd"
Yes, though it would be nice to avoid having to reboot at all, for a
variety of reasons. (for example, putting something on disk to survive
reboot may be undesirable)
