Yes, I use the rawhide (FC2 devel) images. What I did was
export the fedora/core/development/i386 root directory through
NFS and configured a network installation with redhat-config-netboot.
The said machine pulled vmlinuz and initrd through TFTP and
instantly rebooted. After updating my rawhide tree I copied
the new initrd and vmlinuz from fedora/core/development/i386/images/pxeboot
under /tftp/linux-install/FC2DevI386 and tried again. Same result.
The installation kernel should be compiled generic...
