Automator Firmware Password Removal during macOS Install?

Hello,
Does anyone know of a way to automate the firmware password removal during a Netboot Install of the macOS?

I have a script that we have available in Self Service to be able to remove the firmware password using an Expect script. And it works great. However, from what I have seen in Terminal of a Netinstall boot, 'expect' isn't available. Neither is 'firmwarepasswd'. I know the Netinstall has some version of that program since there is a GUI to remove the firmware password.

I have used the System Image Utility to make a Netinstall that will automatically erase the drive and then run the install, but I am hoping to add a step that will remove the firmware password as well.

Any thought as to how to go about doing that?

Tim
