This is resolv.conf
Code:

#/etc/resolv.conf
#
#search <yourdomain.tld>
#nameserver<ip>
# End of file

Well, there's your problem. Your network isn't defined, so the machine can't connect to anywhere. And even if it could, your resolv.conf is empty, so it wouldn't know about any DNS servers for name resolution.

If a dynamic address is enough, set the entries in rc.conf like this:
Code:
interface="eth0"
address=
netmask=
broadcast=
gateway=

Run /etc/rc.d/network restart, and try a ping to 8.8.8.8. If that works, try a ping to any URL you'd like.

       di-netboot-assistant [-hv] [--verbose] [--offline] {[install image...] | [purge image...] | [rebuild-menu] } [--arch=arch]

DESCRIPTION

       di-netboot-assistant is a simple tool to download and extract latest debian installer netboot images.

       Unless the -h, --help, -v, or --version option is given, one of the commands below must be present.

       install
	   install  is	followed  by  a  repository name desired for installation. The repository name has to be one of those declared in /etc/di-
	   netboot-assistant/di-sources.list. The image will  be  installed/extracted  in  the	default  location  (declared  in  /etc/di-netboot-
	   assistant/di-netboot-assistant.conf).

       purge
	   purge will remove a previously installed d-i netboot image, according to the image name specified.

OPTIONS

       rebuild-menu
	   rebuild-menu  will  rebuild the to level menu. It's only usefull if you have installed some client images that have such top level menu
	   (like i386, amd64 and ia64). This command takes no argument.

       -h, --help Print this message and exit

       -v, --version
	      Print script version and exit

       --arch=arch
	      Specify the architecture you want to install or purge. The architecture you can use for the  install  action  must  be  declared	in
	      /etc/di-netboot-assistant/di-sources.list.  The architecture you can use for purge action in one of those you previously installed !
	      The usable architectures can be listed by leaving --arch= empty. The default architecture is the current one (as reported by  dpkg's
	      APT::Architecture).

       --verbose
	      Verbose messages

       --offline
	      Don't download the file (simply re-extract and build menu)

PROXY

       di-netboot-assistant uses wget or curl to actually download the files. You can set the environnement variables accordingly.
