You could try a pxeboot(8)-based method, if your machine supports PXE:

I've done something similar to install FreeBSD 5.2.1 on a
Soekris net4801 board that comes without keyboard, floppy drives,
CD drives, nor VGA; just a serial console and ethernet ports.
It was amazingly simple and effective.

Good luck!
