Rigoberto, You won't get it to work through VNC. This is one of the virtual consoles that only work at the physical console. It should work through iLO, because it appears as the local console. If it isn't working through iLO, you may need a special key combination.

I'm guessing that, perhaps, Windows Vista is intercepting them. It doesn't work either if I'm logged in via the remote console capability of the machine's management port (e.g. iLO).

If you have local access, you can just do CTRL-ALT-F2 to get to the second console, which is a shell within the installation environment. If you want to look at it remotely, try a remote VNC install: http://www.redhat.com/magazine/024oct06/features/kickstart/ -- Sam
