That would be netinst, not netboot.

As a matter of fact, I couldn't find any obvious reference to such
netboot CD's on the Debian site. (They may be there, but not so
visible.) While there are CDs (and even floppies) to make network
booting on machines that lacks BIOS support, they aren't really
Debian-specific.
