afaik, you can, but i never really tried it.

btw: why not use pxe? is it because you can't manage dhcp/dns? if thats
the case, another alternative is to put gpxe on a usb/cdrom, and let it
fetch the kernel, initrd etc over the network.

this way, you dont need to create a cdrom each time you want to change
something.

but really, if you do that more than once, consider provisioning using a
tool, like cobbler or foreman.
