So: can one install on it say a Debian GNU/Linux Lenny?
Mind that it is a "headless" device. Everything has to be done
through ssh (or local telnet). It has no cd-rom drive, keyboard,
or monitor. But it is just a Debian system (for powerpc, not for
i386). Everything behaves just like your desktop Debian system.
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?
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??
Many headless embedded-type devices have a serial port as a bios/system
console. Just use that to log in.
