If you're using diskettes then a bootdisk.img and a drvnet.img 
diskette are used.  You can use these in conjunction with a kickstart 
file on your DHCP server if you wish (that's easier in our experience 
than messing with writing a kickstart file to the diskette).

Look in

pxeboot may be another option that you could use, depending on your 
network interfaces.
