I don't know how to do this on debian but there must be something similar. On centos they use a "kick start file". It basicaly has the answers to all the prompts. You will have to add it to the iso. And turn on ssh too.
Maybe one of the debian gurus will tell us how to do it with debian.
Hey KM!
If you want just to reinstall your system, your TV could be an idea. But what about your PC-Screen? Use this for this situation. When the system is installed and running, you can take the Web-GUI or CLI via SSH.
On the other hand your mainboard might have out-of-band-management (Dell DRAC, Intel ATM, HP iLo - just to name a few). When you got that, you don't need a TV or screen. Just connect to that out-of-band-management...
What kind of mainboard do you have? Have you checked for the management systems? For example: My HP N40L got one of those cards. I can map ISO-Images, can change BIOS-Settings and more even from my Laptop.
Is the TV-Thing working?
Zitat von "KM0201"[...]
I figure if I can't, I'll hook the NAS up to my TV, and hope the installer will support a 52in screen resolution.
Thanks.
The Installer supports 1080p Displays, so you will be fine using your TV. I use my TV for emergencys too.
For cheap displays, just grab a used one from ebay.

Does your laptop have virtualization. Make a vm. Image it with Clonezilla on an external. Then boot your OMV using Parted Magic. You should be able to ssh into either of those. Then mount the external and restore the image to the system drive with Clonezilla.
I may have to take it back on System Rescue CD. I'm not sure if it has Clonezilla or not.
It can be done but I'm not making a guide. 
PS- you have to be pretty proficient in VirtualBox to do this.
Zitat von "KM0201"I'm hoping to build by the end of the week, and really didn't want to buy another monitor...
Indianapolis has 829.718 citizens (according to german Wikipedia). Go to you neighbors and borrow one.
SystemRescueCD doesn't have clonezilla unfortunately. If you could pick the second option on the OMV installer (press arrow down once it has booted to boot menu), you could connect by serial port to install.
Cover the shipping (not too bad from Wisconsin to Indy - probably $15 or $20) and I will send you a dell LCD (doesn't have a stand).
Not headless, but tried to install OMV to a USB stick using VirtualBox with the OMV iso mounted.
The stick installed just fine, but when I put it in my server to boot up, the server doesn't show up in my attached devices list on my router. So I guess something is wrong and it's halted somewhere. Pretty hard to troubleshoot. Haha.
What now? 
First, don't use a USB Stick for OMV.
Second, try that stick on your desktop machine where you created it. However, get rid off it afterwards or OMV will take of this for you.

You need to run omv-firstaid or remove the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and reboot. You could remove the file before you shutdown for the move.
Ah, I know USB sticks are not recommended for OMV, but I took the plunge anyway. Went for a SLC based one, so hopefully it will live a while.
Just booted up in VBox and it received 10.0.0.35 as ip (my network is 192.168.1.x for reference btw).
Now, it could be that it didn't get an IP given from the dhcp service running on my router, but somehow that seems unlikely?
I'm not that used to Debian and setting stuff like this up. Should I go into /etc/network/interfaces and change from dhcp to static?
How would that look?
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.100
gateway 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
Seems about right?
My router has IP 192.168.1.1 but that's the gateway right?
And by the way. The motherboard have an inbuilt realtek nic, but I opted for an Intel one.
How will I know which nic gets which eth? (eth0/eth1?)

Removing that file solved it for me, thanks alot!
Finally up and running

You may not change the interface settings.
In VBox you simply have to change the network-settings to "Bridged Networking". Your VM will then get an IP directly from your dhcp router.
