Greetings,

I am wondering if anyone has had any experience with the remote installation
of NetBSD.

We have a couple of servers located offsite in remote data centres for
redundancy, in the event that our local network goes down.

These servers are currently running Gentoo Linux, and we would like to
migrate them to NetBSD if possible.

I have located a project called Depenguinator which allows a Linux server to
be migrated to FreeBSD, and a similar project called YAIFO which does the
same for OpenBSD.

After looking at both of these projects, I think YAIFO would probably be the
easiest to adapt for NetBSD, but was wondering if anyone had any experience
doing this.

If so, I would very much like to hear from you, mainly to learn about any
problems you ran in to, and any advise you can offer, so we can make this
migration as painless as possible.

Any feedback on this issue would be very much appreciated.

Cheers
