We do the equivalent here by passing the equivalent information through
our DHCP setup. 

This allows us to kickstart a box using the standard RH boot cd's, and 
just typing "ks" at the boot prompt. If all the networking is right (easy
after 1 or 2 boxes) then it truly is hands off.

(And with the current half life of floppies around here, using unaltered 
images is very convienent)
