Please join discourse.ubuntu.com to discuss Ubuntu Server installation options in the server topic - https://discourse.ubuntu.com/c/server/17 There you will find this thread for example https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/netbooting-the-live-server-installer/14510 That has step by step guide on booting Ubuntu Server installer over the network. Specifically the initrd needs to know how to bring up network, i.e. "ip=dhcp" kernel cmdline option, and where to find the matching ISO for the kernel/initrd pair one is trying to launch the installer from i.e. "url=http://releases.ubuntu.com/focal/ubuntu-20.04.1-live-server-amd64.iso"; if one is booting amd64 with the 20.04.1 media and got the vmlinuz/initrd pair from it.
