Well... burn the ISO to a DVD drive first.

Jacob,
You also have another option if the server you are trying to install
the admin node on has a CDROM drive or if you have a USB CDROM drive you do not
need to mess with the VMWare method to install it. You can just put the drive
in and boot from that. It will load the OS and you can then run the install
script.

Jacob,
Do you have the server set to PXE boot as the first option, and ETH0 as the
boot interface for PXE? What hardware are you using that you are trying to
boot?
I've had troubles in the past with Dell BIOS settings, if you switch to PXE
boot as first order, it switches the network interface orders (in the case of
multiple NICs) back to "factory default". You then have to reboot, go in to
BIOS, and specify the correct NIC to use for the PXE boot process. It's a two
step process. Might be a bug in the version of BIOS we're running.
In either case - make *certain* you have PXE boot first, and ETH0 as the
interface to boot from.
