RE: Download of RH3 updates from a RH4 server

I suppose...

I'm trying to explain better:
I have ONE subscription to RHN AS and I'd like to use it to download updates
for both AS3 and AS4 (possibly AS4-x86_64 too... but this is another
issue...)
This is my yam.conf:

[main]
srcdir = /var/yam
wwwdir = /var/www/yam
arch = i386
rhnlogin = yyyyyyyyyy:xxxxxxxxxx

[rhel4as]
name = Red Hat Advanced Server $release U1 ($arch)
release = 4
rhnrelease = 4AS
metadata = yum createrepo
arch = i386 i586 i686 x86_64
iso = rhel$release-u1-$arch-as-dvd.iso
updates = rhn:///rhel-$arch-as-$release

[rhel3as]
name = Red Hat Advanced Server $release U4 ($arch)
release = 3
rhnrelease = 3AS
arch = i386 i586 i686
metadata = yum createrepo
iso = rhel$release-u4-$arch-as-dvd.iso
updates = rhn:///rhel-$arch-as-$release

I DELETED my system subscription from RHN, RE-REGISTERED system (running
RH4AS) to RHN, copied systemid to /var/yam/rhel3-as-i386 and tried to run
'yam -uxqg -d rhel3as'. Nope.
I needed to alter channel subscription for this system from RHN (setting to
nothing), then Yam worked.
If I need to revert to rhel4as, I need to alter again channel subscription
from RHN.

Thanks

P.S. I'm looking also for detailed instructions for using Yam for PXE/TFTP
remote installations...
