If you could just paste an iPXE script in the OVH control panel it
would be alright, but you have to muck around with the API:
https://github.com/gmasse/ovh-ipxe-customer-script

#!ipxe
set base https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/40/Everything/x86_64/os
kernel ${base}/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img
inst.repo=${base} inst.vnc inst.vncpassword=PASSWORD
initrd ${base}/images/pxeboot/initrd.img
boot

But since OP is having issues with IPMI timeouts and lags on install
which very well may be related to mounting an ISO via Java applet, it
may be worth figuring out.  :-)
