While this would probably not be appropriate for "installfest" activity
because it pulls everything over the WAN, it's pretty close to what you are
looking for:

netboot.me <http://www.netboot.me/>

It's really just iPXE <http://ipxe.org/> chainloaded from GRUB. I haven't
actually tried their image, but I do have a NIC with iPXE installed in its
flash that I've pointed at their servers. It seems like it would be quite
handy for random installs of Linux/BSD distributions.
