If in some way you can create an image (= a chrootable filesystem)
systemimager is able to install it. You can use systeminstaller even if
I don't know if recent distributions are correctly supported, otherwise
most any distribution has its own tool to install into a directory (SuSE
has YaST, Debian has debotstrap, RedHat yum, etc...).

If your image is the whole HD (or a partition) simply mount the disk on
your image server in /var/lib/systemimager/<your_image> (native or
exported via NFS for example).
