Sounds like you want a network-console flavour image, like the ones used for kirkwood, http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/qnap/ts-41x/install/ (obviously the bit about using the factory image to flash the firmware you can ignore in favour of fel boot). The main thing you need to be included in the image to make it this type seems to be the network-console openssh-server-udeb udebs. debian-installer/build/pkg-lists/network-console also lists libnss-files-udeb Ian. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
