[CentOS] following Centos wiki headless install,
but applying to FC10

I have successfully built an install CD following the instructions at:
http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/VncHeadlessInstall
Now I am trying to do the same with FC10 and I am failing in two ways.
I have tried to find a similar howto for even FC9, but have not found
the right google magic.
The first problem should be small. When I set isolinux.cfg to start with:
prompt 1
timeout 0
I still get prompted. There is quite a bit more to the beginning of the
FC10's isolinux.cfg so that might account for it. But fortunately I do
have a keyboard of sorts and a monitor of sorts so I can get to my menu
select for remote vnc install. The install then proceeds and gets to
setting up eth0, but fails. It seems like dhcp is not succeeding. If I
boot from the standard FC10 CD, hdcp does work. Here is my append line:
append initrd=initrd.img vnc vncconnect=10.8.6.15 headless ip=dhcp
ksdevice=eth0 meth
od=http://server.foo.com/fedora/10/os/i386 lang=en_US keymap=us
All these commands are listed at:

Any pointers to where to get help on this?
