I would also add a little script that pings back to a known location and
reports the local IP. Then just tail the logs of that known location's
httpd server :)

So there is no way to do it without rolling my own livecd like I asked about?

I guess you won't get around building your own ISO. Maybe have a look at 
'nixos/modules/installer/cd-dvd/installation-cd-minimal.nix', and at how 
it is used. It could be a starting point for creating your own image. 
The source code is your friend, and not Google, I'm afraid. ;)

I was afraid that might be the case but am glad I asked.  Thanks for the 
information, I'll look into making a custom ISO and see how that goes.

Try using Packer. You can take the liveCD ISO, and repack it as an image 
with SSH enabled on boot.
