I think that you need a serial console as somebody already mentioned,
but I think that you can force firstboot actions.  I think that you can
just create a /firstboot file and reboot.  The growfs operation should
run as long as you have the growfs_enable still enabled.  I don't know
any of this, but it should be easy to test.
