Couldn't find a nice guide through google, so I try here.

I'd like to create a boot image, where I already on the image itself
point out my nfs server and kickstart file so I don't have to write
the boot options everytime (linux ks=nfs:myserver:/somedir/ks.cfg),
always using the same nfs server for installation.
I then mount the image in my ilo (hp machine) as a usb or cdrom image.

In short, trying to perform a diskless/usbless installation with
preconfigured boot options.

kind regards

I'm assuming you have this problem because you have a large amount of machines that you need to install with certain regularity.  In this case I would really suggest PXE,  it is extremely configurable and can accomplish what you want.  Cobbler is also a good alternative  (I've been told, haven't actually used it).

I think the boot image approach, though possible, is too much work.
