OpenBSD 3.9 remote installation

[Leines]

Hi Nick,

thank you for your quick answer. I see, I have to write a bit more abou it.

The machine we talk about is hosted by a professional provider. There is NO
WAY to get physical access to it. Well, it is easy to convince them to
insert a CD, but they are professionals and I don't want to pay that money
;-) The reasons I don't want to are simple and there are two of them: It
SHOULD work (*), I see no point that it is impossible. Second is, if the
server crashes and I want to reinstall it, I need to pay again. No good :-)

To be more exact: I have access to a shell console to this machine. I can
"watch" while the system boots. I can logon to a ssh-encrypted connection
and have keyboard access to the machine.

I can also reinstall Debian and some other Linux systems on demand for free
(automatic reinstall, controlled by hosters webpage) as often as I want to.

I can also boot into a recovery system which allows me to fix the system
(Linux), if something goes wrong on Linux. So I have some kind of access to
the machine which makes me believe that (*) (see above).

So I just want to know how to start the OpenBSD 3.9 boot disk on this
machine. Can I copy the bootdisk into the bootsector (well, I tried, it did
not worked, but perhaps someone here has an idea...)?

Again,.. : thank you all in advance.
