Even if you have sshd installed there is still logins, keys, etc.  to
deal with.  Maybe telnetd is good enough.  Perhaps limit access to the
local network for a bit more security.

In fact, how about a really simple daemon that sits on the tty
waiting for a connection which just execs the installer without
forking or running login(1)?  That prevents a second installer running
and it's safe enough.  If someone did manage to beat you to the
installer you would simply reboot and try again.
