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
