I have a machine with only a serial console that I'd like to
install 6.06.1 i386 server onto.

Some weeks ago I installed 6.06.1 on a Soekris box and some years ago on an IBM-Thinkpad with damaged (=no) CD-ROM: attached my notes in German (English summary follows below):

ENGLISH summary:

You need a (Ubuntu)-Box with TFTP-Server, DHCP-Server installed, one CD-drive with the Server-CD and the Net-Installer-Image in /var/lib/ tftpboot/ubuntu-installer. (The Server CD you have, the Netbootimag can be downloaded from the Ubuntu-Webpage, or copied from CD)

1. cat /etc/dnsmasq.conf (if you use dhcpd you may have to change this a bit)
...
## Installation Ubuntu ueber PXE
dhcp-boot=/pxelinux.0,0.0.0.0
...

2. Copy Image:
$ cp -R /media/cdrom/../netboot /var/lib/tftpboot
sudo chown -R nobody:nogroup /var/lib/tftpboot/

3. Start the TFTPServer:
sudo in.tftpd -l -a 192.168.4.254 -s /var/lib/tftpboot


4. Connect your box

5. Boot your box

Sorry, that this is not a perfect documentation (more my personal notes) - if you need some more details, pls. ask.
HTH, Ingo
