Works like a charm here (just bought a soekris 4801 too ;-):
Just create file /pfi.conf on FAT formatted usb pen-drive:
sshd_enable="YES"
pfi_rc_actions="sshd"
pfi_set_root_password="YourSecret"
pfi_sshd_permit_root_login="YES"
This indeed works like a charm. After starting getty on ttyd0, and login 
with "installer" I get the following:

login: installer

Welcome to DragonFly!

Starting installer.  Reading /etc/pfi.conf ...
/usr/local/bin/installer: cannot create /dev/ttyv0: Device not configured
vidcontrol: getting active vty: Inappropriate ioctl for device
Installer started
The installer tries to launch a second vty to display stuff.  I don't know how that is supposed to work via ssh.  I always went the manual fdisk+disklabel+newfs+cpdup route.

maybe a new installer version would fix that?

cheers
