You'll need to make the loaded ramdisk/initrd gain access to the network and then download the files from somewhere on the network. This is what the NFS/SMB option to casper is all about. You can see my ubuntu-install menu option in https://gist.github.com/robinsmidsrod/22...-ipxe-L324 which shows how to make the Ubuntu netinstall load its files over the network. There is also a bunch of iSCSI-related settings on that imgargs line, which you can totally ignore if you're installing to a local drive.
