Hi Rick,
with a proper preseed file, you can start the network console with a netinst
CD, or even a more minimal netboot image.
In theory, this needs only the three lines of preseed indicated on the Debian
wiki (<https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/NetworkConsole>).
In practice, if the installer has a question to ask before reaching that step, it
will wait indefinitely for the answer. The Installer's guide has explanations
on how to change the Debconf prioriy, pass start parameters and preseed a couple
of early questions in order to avoid this.

You might need a bit of trial and error. If you think that something can be
clarified in the documentation, I guess that patches will be welcome.
Have a nice day,
