The SDC headnode is designed around having that USB key there to boot from. It's not sufficient to just try and replicate it, there are other things which are stored persistently back to that USB key. I would not recommend trying to manually work around this, as you'll quickly end up having to fight against quite a lot of SDC. There are a few options here. Given that you don't have a console, what you can do is go and fill out answers.json entirely on the USB key and then wipe and reboot. Test the answers.json in coal first, but if filled out completely, there will be no manual prompting and the installation will be automated. If you don't have a usbkey available, the other thing that you can do is to sacrifice a physical disk to be a giant USB key. It's not great, but it may work for you.
