This made me think of systems managed through IPMI or ALOM (yup, that
later is only a Sun thing, but to get the idea...), and I don't think this
interfaces are capabe of VGA graphics.
That is not a big deal, but it forces you to attach a monitor to the VGA
to install.

BTW, will the text installer ever work through IMPI ? Is it even possible
that kinkd of install ?
