I just beat this until I got it working.
Here is how I got it working with an NFS image install;

append initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=8192 upgradeany vnc
vncconnect=192.168.0.20 headless ip=dhcp ksdevice=eth0
method=nfs:imail:/opt/sysop/CentOS-4 lang=en_US keymap=us

All one line...
I had to search on the RFC for NFS url's. I also tried a http install using
the Centos mirror, but stopped it as soon as it was starting to load the
second stage install image. I didn't want to hit up their bandwidth just as a
test.
There are some url's farther back in the thread with a lot of details on this..
