Just about every single distribution has to build a initrd
that has to be able to setup a network, and have the necessary
infrastructure to access things over NFS in order to implement
their installer.

You can start with the debian installer, that's probably the
easiest to hack on and extend.

Or you can just continue to list excuses, that might be easier.
