did it end up with forgetting to install bootloader?

No, but it didn't boot after I was done. I can't think of anything I did wrong, I'll find out next month. Was a good test.

The takeover part worked great though. I'm willing to bet it's stuck on some BIOS screen because it's a shitty old server.

about to ask whether you did a plain reboot test beforehand but then not sure if it's a better or worse idea.

This was Server of Doom's evil twin, ~3y uptime. Didn't want to risk it.

If this had worked I would've switcheroo'd the contents into VMs and managed to upgrade both ahead of time. Will have to wait now.

Thankfully this server was at least... empty. Basically doing nothing.

On the plus side, it no longer has SSH password logins open to the internet.
