Setup a DHCP server to point PXE boot process to a TFTP server. Setup TFTP
server with pxelinux.0 and make available the isolinux directory from the
install disc. that should get you booted to a point where you can do the
install. you can then choose one of several methods to complete the install:
http, ftp, nfs, etc.

Another option is to use the virtual media drive if you have a DRAC card in
the server.
