Debian has an installation guide[1]. I'd imagine all the major distributions do.
But it probably has to change a lot for every major release, because so many things change. FreeBSD major releases have changes too, but a lot of the user interfaces are very stable and so the documentation can be too. Stable documentation allows time for it to be edited and revised to become better documentation, as well as developing quality translations.
I wonder if this is a curse of popularity. Presumably the documentation is stable and good because the software is also stable, and well-specified with one way to do each thing rather than five competing projects.
