I take it you either arranged for ssh to accept a direct root login,
or added a non-root username. Does the new installer do one of
these automatically, or is there more manual configuration involved?
BSD Installer asks if you want to install sshd and click yes. Later
you can go to another box on the lan and use the user account to ssh
into the new box and su to root. This feature has been on the installs
for a while. I used it on sysinstall on 7.*.
OK, so you didn't actually install remotely via ssh. You installed
locally and let the installer configure sshd for your new install and it
was available after you rebooted into your new install.
I'd like to actually be able to install via ssh. Basically I'd like ssh
access to the Live CD so I could partition my drives for zfs prior to
installing. And I'd like to do it from a computer that's connected to
the web so I can read and copy/paste examples.
Cheers,
Drew
