 If you have access to RedBoot (telnet or serial console), you can use
 HTTP or TFTP to start the d-i netboot kernel and initrd.

 something like:
    ip_address -l 192.168.0.42 -h 192.168.0.12
    load -r -v -b 0x00800000 -m http /debian/initrd
    load -r -v -b 0x00200000 -m http /debian/kernel
    exec -c "console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/ram0 initrd=0xa0800000,42M mem=128M@0xa0000000"

 (I like this method because it avoids writing anything to flash until
 you confirm the installer is working.)
