If you are using the "linux askmethod", YES, you should be able to
boot from CD and use http/ftp install trees.
I've done it for years (just moved to USB memory sticks as they are
more convenient).

I think you're on the right track. Is there any error reported
in the KS logs or on the HTTP server?
While I typically use FTP, there's virtually no difference in using HTTP.

Yes, the netboot.iso is specifically made to make a bootable CD
and do what you are trying to do. Just burn it to a CD, like any other
iso.
