I'm not sure if you had seen my post a few weeks ago...
What I did for installing over FTP was something like this:
mkdir disc1
mkdir disc2
mount iso/7.0-i386-disc1.iso disc1 -t iso9660 -o loop
mount iso/7.0-i386-disc2.iso disc2 -t iso9660 -o loop
mkdir en
mkdir en/RedHat
mkdir en/RedHat/RPMS
cd en
ln -s ../disc?/{.??,}* .
cd RedHat
ln -s ../../disc?/RedHat/* .
cd RPMS
ln -s ../../../disc?/RedHat/RPMS/* .
