I suggest contacting your local IBM representative and asking for the
"Flash" titled "Installation Overview and Tips for AIX...".  It has a
clear walk-through on setting up for network installation.  It is rather
long, so I did not want to just dump it here.  Furthermore, it is kept
up to date as the system evolves.
