Hi Esteban, I'm not sure what you mean with an inet installation, but if you've managed to set up PXE/DHCP/TFTP then your just one step, or at most two, from an NFS install. Alternatively you could mount an NFS root and just dump /* (excl. /proc an /sys) onto the CF card, edit a few files (fstab etc.) and you're there.
Option 2 is the more hackish one, not recommended. Option 1 should be well-described in the Debian Installation Guide. Should be a piece of cake from where you are: copy CD1 image contents to dir, install nfs-server, edit /etc/exports and your pxelinux config. You will find example configs all over the internet. It's plain and simple and well-supported.
