What I did: Move said hard drive to a system that has a DVD, and install
there.
I had to "tweak a few things" because of how the install process worked,
and the differences in hardware between this DVD-capable system and my
target systems, but, after said futzing, I had a HD that would boot my
target systems, and I could dupe the drive for all the product we make.
After that, the drive is a "programmable part", and the code we run is
an application we update in the field...
