The method is even available with the Sarge installer, though it has become 
increasingly simple to use.

You can most easily use network console by booting with
   install modules=network-console
or, if you want to keep the ability to manually load other components
   install modules?=network-console

With Etch D-I, network console will not be run automatically for some 
installation methods (IIRC: for CD-based installs it will; for netboot it 
will not, but it is present in the menu so can be invoked manually from the 
installer's main menu after the loading of additional components).

With Lenny this last issue has been fixed and network-console will be run 
automatically for all installation methods.

Cheers,
FJP
