Attach a console to "Serial A" (palm pilot will do ;-)

Go to another unix box:
  Install rarp (MAC address, first line on the console)
  Install tftp (packages (20mb) from www.debian.org)

Go to the serial console attached to the SS2:
  Press [Break]
  Type "n"
  Type "boot net"

Really is this easy (well the second time anyway =-)
