Thanks Rick,
Actually I do have an installation media, which is a combination of a
bootstrap floppy and an installation CD. Got them both.
Already tried to install on a fresh physical x86 server, it boots up
but seeks that same Adaptec controller / specific BUS ID number and
what not.Like I said, DG was clever like that.
Of course I also tried that using a VM, no go.
Besides, even if I do get a system running, I think it won't get me
far, due to the tens of patches that this machine will require to get
it as closer as possible to my production machine. That is why I
thought a full disk image would be the best solution.

Thanks,
D
