I find the Installation Guide rather confusing.
Eg your second citation appears in Chapter 12, "Installing Without Media",
but for some reason these methods are not mentioned in your first citation, 
"Installation Method", which appears in Chapter 8.

I think it would be much better if the Guide simply listed
possible methods 1,2,3,...
and explained in each case exactly what one has to do.

In my experience, it is more or less impossible to install by PXEboot
by following the instructions in the Guide,
as the different part of the procedure are scattered at random
over several different chapters.

There is a big difference between a User Guide and a Reference Manual.
Unfortunately the authors of the Installation Guide seem to confuse the two.
