Just put vnc=1 on the boot line for the install.

It will allow you to either dhcp or set a hard address
for the host your are intalling onto.

You'll vnc to that IP from another host... it will tell
you what to do.  It's pretty nifty.

Shoot... if the other host is a Linux box, you can
even use ssh=1 and it will allow you to have a tunneled
X session of the install on the remote host.
