Here is what I have for the first part of the ks file:

text
install
url --url http://192.168.250.226/os/RHAS61/
#xconfig --card "ATI Radeon 7000" --videoram 16384 --hsync 30-107 --vsync
48-120 --resolution 1024x768 --depth 16 --defaultdesktop gnome
skipx
key --skip
reboot
harddrive --partition=sda2 --dir=/
lang en_US.UTF-8

We had DHCP setup and its for simply handing out addresses and such,
example:

default-lease-time 300;
max-lease-time 7200;
authoritative;
ddns-update-style none;
log-facility local7;

subnet 192.168.250.0 netmask 255.255.255.192 {
  range 192.168.250.43 192.168.250.49;
  option routers 192.168.250.1;
  option domain-name-servers  192.168.98.204, 192.168.98.203;
  allow bootp;
  allow booting;
  next-server 192.168.250.50;
  filename "linux-install/pxelinux.0";
}
