I have successfully installed f7 several times using pxeboot and nfs.

The nfs server contains the F-7-i386-DVD.iso and a kickstart file, ks.cfg.

I network boot the target machine and let it rip.  Takes about 5 minutes 
to do a Base install onto a low end white box.  The iso is not mounted, 
it is just present within an nfs exported directory.

Here is the boot stanza from the tftp server:

LABEL f7 kickstart
         MENU LABEL Install f7 w/ ^kickstart
         KERNEL images/vmlinuz vga=0x317
         APPEND ksdevice=eth0 load_ramdisk=1 initrd=images/initrd.img 
network ks=nfs:nfs:/exports/f7/ks.cfg

Works great!
