 Hi-

 I have a server that currently has Redhat 7.3 on it, and I want to wipe
 the
 box and do a fresh install of FreeBSD 4.9. The only problem is that the
 box
 is at a colo and only has a floppy drive.

 But I have root access to it over the network.

 Is there a way for me to install a new FreeBSD OS over the network
 (remotely)?

 Can anyone assist?

 Thanks.

You can try installing a minimum system to a system similar to the one
at the colo, then dd the partition from linux and copy over and dd back
to the disk and configure lilo/grub, and check. Try it on a test
environment first, if you have.
