Just to add another wrinkle, I had an old Sony with no optical drive and no USB sticks handy. I did have a DragonFly CD, which I booted on another machine and started up the network install option. I was able to pxe-boot from that other machine and install DragonFly on the Sony, and then remove the CD from the other machine with no effect on its installed OS.
