Wouldn't you need something to set the ip address of the adapter? And the locale and language? These are prompted in text mode before the vnc code is started.
That is a good point -- I was kind of wondering more about the network if anything.
if you had looked at the url's posted earlier in this thread. by both Matt and Johnny - these issues are clearly mentioned there :)

I have been reading them, and for example on this URL (http:// www.arenatechniques.com/kb/index.php/Anaconda#Installation_via_VNC) where it says:
" Installation via VNC, Kickstart, and yaboot"
They mention that the code example is for:
Have a Mac running yaboot, and don't want to ever visit it for a new installation? You can boot off the network, using VNC, by issuing such an entry in /etc/yaboot.conf:
Now looking at it now (after this thread has continued) I know realize it seems to be in the format that can be passed to the boot options....
So assuming that is true it would be:
<snip> default linux prompt 0 timeout 0 display boot.msg F1 boot.msg F2 options.msg F3 general.msg F4 param.msg F5 rescue.msg F7 snake.msg label linux kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=8192 vnc vncconnect=pigdog.example.com headless ip=dhcp ksdevice=eth0 method=cdrom lang=en_US keymap=us <snip>
I just did not find that example clear in the way they referenced it.
