Say I'll upgrade Debian Etch on it to Debian Lenny and make a mess of
the operating system somehow through ssh connection.
Then what can I do?

I think one can boot from an USB stick with an installation iso file? 

But how can one setup the BIOS of the BUBBA mini server/gateway for
booting from the USB stick??

And if one can setup the first boot media to USB stick how can install
the system without to seeing anything?

How can they install the Debian system in the Factory of the BUBBA??
