Hi Brady, |

I too am in need of a solution for this problem. I've got an XServe that lacks |
| 4 |
CDROM and a video card. I believe I can boot a cdrom through either a USB |
| 5 |
connected or firewire setup. Did you have any luck building a install CD with |
| 6 |
ssh enabled, a default root password, etc...? |
| 7 |

I also lack a PPC machine to use catalyst on. I'll have one once I get the first |
| 9 |
machine built. I've been experimenting with qemu ppc64 but am having problems |
| 10 |
with garbled text when attempting to have qemu-system-ppc loads up the current |
| 11 |
Gentoo ppc install cdrom. It seems that qemu (x86) can load the x86 Gentoo |
| 12 |
install cdrom. |
| 13 |
|

My current solution is to find any GNU/Linux LiveCD/RescueCD that will pump an |
| 15 |
ip address, enable the ssh server, and allow access to the root account on some |
| 16 |
default password. |

Have you continued work on this problem? Have you had success? Found a solution? |
