Hello list,

Is there a way to do a remote installation of FreeBSD on a server that's
currently running Linux? 

I know in Linux there are ways to install a new version/distro. by using
chroot, but was wondering if there is an easy way to do that type of
thing with FreeBSD from a Linux installation. 

This would be used for something like the Power3000 server that
www.serverbeach.com offers, since they give you full root, allow you to
install whatever you want, but don't offer FreeBSD installations as part
of their package.

TIA,
Jacob
