Getting grub launching the installer

[Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For the longest time, I was able to upgrade an existing system by copying  
over the pxeboot vmlinuz and initrd.img, sticking them into menu.lst, and  
directing grub to load them.

Up until F14 this worked fine. F15's pxeboot/vmlinuz made me stare at a  
blank screen, and the only available option, apparently, was the three- 
fingered salute. I wrote it off as an F15 glitch.

Now, same story with F16. Looks like I have to do a real PXE boot. No big  
deal, but it's a pain. Grub was much easier – copy two files over, edit  
menu.lst, and I'm done.

I don't seem to find this installation method documented, just wondering if  
it's gone for good, or this is just my problem.
