How are you planning to start the installation? Local cdrom or netboot?
Either way, just do a minimal installation.

Once you have a basic system (minimal install) up and running, you can
mount the nfs share, point apt to that share and install the rest of
your system.

You can use the netboox (pxelinux). You need a basic tftp/pxe setup for
that. See the installation guide.
