I've not come across yocto before. So it's a tool for building embedded Linux distributions. My first question to you is, did you build this distribution yourself, or are you using one built by somebody else?

If the former, could you rebuild the image with a package manager, or even git, built into the distribution?

You can use wget to download git, but then you still need to install it. This will have to be done either by downloading the source and building it or getting a package for your system, and you will still need a package manager such as dpkg to install it.

SYNOPSIS

       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.
