I've got a RH 7 install, and want to bump it up
to RH 9. These are on a few rack-mount boxes with
a hard disk but without a CD or floppy.

Is there a way to supply a few parameters to the
existing kernel such that it will go out and look at an
FTP or HTTP site for a new image to load? I want
to replicate the "load from FTP" process in the RH
install, but without booting from a floppy disk
or CD. This will save me having to rip the things
out of the rack to install a CD for a normal install.

Or is there a better way to do this?
