fscking remotely

[pbdlists at pinboard.com]

I have a couple of completely headless systems (some of them so far away
it takes about 12 hours by direct flight). But I always make sure there
are at the very least 2 systems at each location and they are together
close enough to run serial cables between them. Then I redirect the
console to the first serial port and can access it from the other
machine through the serial cable. Works very well, I've even done
complete reinstalls this way.
