Yep, I've already seen what it costs to have them re-install things back
to a "stock" server. I haven't seen any hosting companies that let you
add hardware. That would be a nice option for a colo though. (hmm...
FreeBSD can be booted from Lilo, so it should be possible to use the -R
option in case the server can't boot up into FreeBSD. Then the webhost's
remote reboot option through their website is convenient.)
I expect to test it on a server at work before we try doing it on a
remote server though.
Thanks,
Jacob
