It looks like I've found the solution in the shape of adding the following 
to my syslinux.cfg "append" line:

  inst.repo=http://<server/your install tree>      (which is now working)

"This option will allow you to load the installer and specify the 
installation source at the same time."  Which is nice.

or instead

  root=dracut      (and specifying the location of the initrd.img)

"If you use this option, you must specify the location of the initrd.img 
file extracted from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 bootable media. Using this 
option will allow you to boot the installer, but you will need to specify an 
installation source in another way (using a Kickstart file or manually in 
the graphical installer interface)."

I haven't tried the latter, yet.

Sorry for the spam.  I wish there was a RHEL7 mailing list.
