I'm tring to compile debian-installer to be able to boot via the

I made the "build_netboot" target, I think the word netboot is
misleading, because I got a mini.iso file : "tiny CD image that boots
the netboot installer". But what I want is a net-BOOT not a net-install.
It also produces two files named initrd.gz and vmlinuz, which
(supposedly) can be used together to netboot an i386 machine. I'm not
sure of the exact semantics of this, personally.
