14 You can do that, if you have some experience, you can use the actual
15 system already installed, but you must use fallback instructions on
16 your bootloader, along with PANIC instructions to reboot if no
17 successful kernel is booted. Also, you must be SURE that IF your new
18 kernel boot, it will support your NIC, and also that SSH gets started
19 with the system.

21 There is really NO way to securely say you'll suceed, anyway, you must
22 have another way to access the machine locally if anything goes wrong.
23 Besides any failure, its possible, I've used it like 3 times, only one
24 I had to go there and reboot the machine...
