I guess *** your just install the bootloader in the flash , and put
the netinst.iso in the flash. *** , right?
one simple way , you need not tweak stuff so complex , just put the
vmlinuz(or the linux) and the initrd.gz in the flash , boot it
and install the system via internet .
Notes: pls take care of the D-I(debian installer), you should choose
the right installer so that it use the internet not the cdrom
I think the linux and initrd.gz in the below link are fine(I haven't
test it yet :-) ):
