I hope you're planning on trying this on a local test machine or a VM
specifically setup for this before trying it remotely.  Also, make
sure you have a backup plan, such as remote access to the console, and
hopefully another machine with a PXE boot to be able to reinstall the
OS or boot to a rescue disk.
