For those unfamiliar with Unix-like systems, in order of ease:

  1. Boot from the local network -- this requires only TFTP and DHCP servers on the local subnet. See pxeboot(8) for setup details.
  2. Move the hard drive to another system that can boot CD or boot diskette -- if moving an IDE drive from laptop to desktop, this requires a 2.5" IDE adapter on the desktop.
  3. Follow the 11-steps outlined above.
