Nishanth - as a Cobbler newbie, I didn't know about this.  Thanks!

It worked after I tweaked it - I had to add the kernel parameter
"root=live:/boot.iso" to the PXE config line, where "boot.iso" is the name
of the original ISO that livemedia-creator made before getting PXE
converted.

For others finding this on the internets, I had to make a profile called
"livecd" with the distro, and then I had to add the kernel option to the
profile with the following command:

cobbler profile edit --name livecd --kopts="root=live:/boot.iso"

It works! :D  Thanks all!
