What you want is a versatile image:

http://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-armel/current/images/versatile/netboot/

See the unnoficial howto:

http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Arm/OtherPlatforms

My (limited) impression is that the netboot image should support any debian cd/dvd
image available, as long as the kernel and bootloader initrd have already been loaded
via other means.
