you could make hda2 smaller, then make small partition and put the net installer image in there. if grub is on hda, you could make grub boot the net installer, grub is in my opinion the better choice, worse documentation, but better performance.
so then you could walk through a normal installation, IF you have access to console, or you have to modify the net installer to run on serial console, then install from there. just my two cents ... m ps: I have a german hosting company which promised me a remote console from the vga/keyboard port, I'm going to use that way.
