I would guess, as I've not done it, you might be able to do a serial 
console install.  Problem is, you've got a chicken and the egg thing, 
you need to pass a parm to the boot process (console=ttys0), but you 
can't do that without a monitor.

Your best bet would probably be to borrow a monitor for the install.
