Hello,

I would like to install DragonFly BSD on a couple dedicated servers.
Sadly DragonFly BSD is not being made available by the datacenter, however I 
can remotely access the servers (SSH and/or serial console) and can boot them 
using a FreeBSD or Linux rescue disc.

I downloaded the DragonFly BSD iso image, but I'm not sure how to make the 
server enter the setup after the next restart of the machine.
Currently I would guess I'll have to format the hard disk in some format that 
is usable by FreeBSD and DragonFly BSD and then copy the install media.
But without a boot partition this will probably not work, so I'll have to 
create that too and I honestly don't know how to do that.

Is there any tutorial available somewhere for such situations?

I did find a tutorial where the user is installing qemu and boots a virtual 
machine inside the live disk to install OpenBSD, but I would prefer a simpler 
solution if available.

Best regards,
Christoph
