sysinstall full install remotely with no serial console, possible?

[Webster, Andrew]

You might want to check out ethercons, but you'll probably have to roll
your own boot CD with this included.

Subject: sysinstall full install remotely with no serial console,

Hey guys.

	Basically in my situation I have a broken server in colo with no
serial 
console.  It works for the most part but write access to / is gone, and 
all attempts at repair are not coming about.

	I'd like to reinstall all but /home (has a seperate slice),
however I 
would have to do so via SSH without the aid of a serial console, and 
with no CD in the drive.

	I know sysinstall can run from the OS, and it can install over
the 
network, is it possible to run this full installation remotely in this 
way, given that it's starting from an installed and configured OS?

Thanks,
Elliot
