Thanks Mike (and Brent).
After finding a PC to test the updated bootnet.img to install
redhat 7.2 with the update-disk-20020117.img uprolled on the server,
everything seems smooth and fine.
As Brent said, I just copied the content of update-disk-20020117.img
in i386/RHupdates (thanks Mike for the correction), next to i386/RedHat.
Then I started the installation just as usual (not typing
updates which would request a disket). I checked on the NFS
server that the files in RHupdates where accessed.
To answer Geoffrey's questions:

mount -o loop .../update-disk-20020117.img /mnt/zzz
cp -p /mnt/zzz/* RHupdates

To install new rpms, you have to replace old ones by new ones in
i386/RedHat/RPMS and not forget to rerun genhdlist each time you modify
any rpm.
genhdlist .../i386
Note that genhdlist can be found in anaconda-runtime-7.2-7.i386.rpm
I can't help on pxe as I know nothing yet in that area. Hope
others can help.
