I really just followed my procedure for netbooting CentOS 5, but
changed the directory paths.
0. Set up local http mirror of CentOS 6
1. Set up tftp server; make CentOS 6 pxe kernel and initrd.img
available
2. Use PXE menu to point to right kernel, initrd.img, and boot
options
3. Set up DHCP server to point to the correct next-server and
filename
