I think you don't need this. Make a small boot-disk and start
svncviewer. svncviewer is in the debian distribution:
$ apt-cache show svncviewer
Package: svncviewer

Depends: libc6 (>= 2.1.2), libvncauth0, svgalibg1
Suggests: vncserver

Description: Virtual network computing client software for SVGA.
VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing. It is, in essence, a remote
display system which allows you to view a computing `Desktop' environment
not only on the machine where it is running, but from anywhere on the
Internet and from a wide variety of machine architectures.
.
It is implemented in a client/server model. This package provides a client
for SVGA, with this you can connect to a vncserver somewhere in the network
and display its content on a graphic capable console. There are vncserver
available for X and for Win95/NT, although the Win95/NT server may not work
with svgalib viewer due to missing palette handling.
