The generic answer is "netboot".

However, you may experience problems netbooting the sysinstall
kernel, as I did, as documented in PR#10059.  I ended up fixing
it by using the boot.700000 image, tweaked for netboot, instead
of the default netboot boot loader (which is constructed for
being loaded at 0x300000).

The problem is that the kernel may overrun the boot loader while
being loaded...  The problem with the 0x700000 image is that it
creates problems for folks with only 4M in the first memory bank
(if I've understood correctly).

Would it perhaps make sense (at least as an interim measure) to
use a boot loader which should load at 0x380000?
