I need to install gentoo on an headless server.
The problem is that I cannot attach a video on it at all, neither for
the installation.
I asked the seller to setup the bios for cd boot as main option, so that
I can use a live distro for the gentoo installation.
I know for sure that both the gentoo livecd and systemrescuecd need user
interaction to setup ssh (at least I have to choose a root password).
I think it won't be too difficoult to do it blind:
- Insert cd
- Poweron the machine
- Wait a while
- Type "passwd" "******" "******" "/etc/init.d/net.sshd restart"
But I'm sure somewhere there are livecds with a fixed root password,
that start dhcp and sshd on boot. Possibly x86_64.
Does anyone know such a livedistro, or can anybody suggest a different
method for my installation?
This is the machine:
