Now you are talking about remote install which is a completely different 
matter from just installing a commandline OS/2 on a machine without monitor. 
There is absolutely no problem, if anything but the network card ist 
different, since the bootdisks created for remote install are fairly generic. 
The installation program gets everything it needs from the cd rom on the 
codeserver.
As for network cards: The default is taken from the machine where you build 
the bootdisks but it can easily be changed. Just make sure you know which 
network card you use on the other machine and which settings it has.

It is a little bit difficult for a program to look at a remote machine when 
it doesn't have a network connection. ;-)
