IIRC, by requesting KVMoIP you will get a serial console attached to your server onto which you can logon and thus have access to a serial console to your server, allowing you to view the boot process, GRUB and stuff like that.
If you have this, you only have to boot into the USB install stick and install as you would usually do.
The main point is that you should have serial access to your server with KVMoIP :)

Linode includes something like this with all their VPS's--I forget what they call it, but it's definitely there and good to have for when you've *really* *screwed* *up*. ;-) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJRSSvGAAoJELJhbl/uPb4Sh5oP/0GPevt8rVdxxHeTevrdYles ywb/s9JDrJ81yFBe9ri1YlquseG1AWqCiVLfEDFJ4Lv8Hn7A9lQrBSIhmMgRShgY /Dy1fPEvAh9gxM5wikE0PvH+ivTzKUHnqeqKdsOXcVTXbDaD5UjJ/KaIkUnUl6R6 uHNzR1w5Hp6xqza5+Z3l8XRjx12QuIj09vzPfjIOEUOkFlgor1PYjJkf3IOpqHCK C4igwE9pREAsTvm1tKRnCxjB8FKU8ppV+FpmnsI0CufOnHhL2ZsDLK1Cp4aHUurw HpCMkhv8KNuBVqInZShtQ5Fap5+vGqkvJ+Z7OhBdFO/JBR1WSoZONMZNdij/1Bep tExn8a80Y+Fn8NhyI/X3HnxcnMRNOuHms8/9dXlJasoR1BfAyQH3Hl8ITLVBVPoV 4hVVL+vshC4Cw/xmWx5MU4kFUb4Cx7wsO4ee4Ur8+QA0jB+E2wgPF4qnR/SsfqUT vGDb+8ZTNKkvQD9yfr5QwfuRCzdeBQkMw8+FlYSnAcjqNTI3z8r6bqciZ1IdP/6o CFcc78HR0QHqVjQVwaLOXRi+QBI89jvQQmrnRtCQ6iUgB43XpfvKmAtBR9V60RfR 3xOukfOKcqBu+XR4+XU5zTS2Glzci9RlGquEFAJGB9POvNBp/BhoNNGjFIcteCdZ 8Aw5KRfTvGcL4gxmFUO4 =ouRD -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
