You don't need gPXE, you can add a grub entry that points to the kernel and
initial ramdisk from the iso that you copy into /boot.

Finally, add a ` ks=http://...`  and possibly a `vnc vncpassword=...` to the
kernel line in the grub stanza, set it to default, then reboot.

Make sure you get it right:) I do this all the time in this scenario, it works fine.
