If you are booting from the network, you need to be able to continue to
access the system disk after initial boot and the only supported way to do
this is as part of a cluster with the node or device serving the system disk.

It's not necessary to do anything unsupported.  As Rob suggested, boot as
a satellite, copy the bits you need to a locally attached disk and then
install from that.
