method= param ignored?

I haven't had any success using the
"method=ftp://ip.of.server/path/to/dir/that/contains_'RedHat'_dir"
parameter at the boot: prompt. (RHEL3) The GUI prompt for install
method appears, and installation proceeds if the same server and path
are entered there, or, if the 'url --url...' line is supplied in a
kickstart file. The parameter is documented in command-line.txt in the
anaconda documentation.
The full text used at the 'boot:' prompt:
linux ip=x.x.x.x dns=x.x.x.x gateway=x.x.x.x netmask=x.x.x.x method=...
[and I've tried w and w/o ks=<url.to.ks.cfg>] All the other parameters
are parsed as expected. Also, the 'method=...' param does show up in
/proc/cmdline as entered.
Suggestions? Anyone using 'method=...' successfully?
thanks,
Ed
