Sounds like you want a network-console flavour image, like the ones used
for kirkwood, http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/qnap/ts-41x/install/
(obviously the bit about using the factory image to flash the firmware
you can ignore in favour of fel boot).
The main thing you need to be included in the image to make it this type
seems to be the network-console openssh-server-udeb udebs.
debian-installer/build/pkg-lists/network-console also lists
libnss-files-udeb
