I'm trying to install 6.0 x86_64 on a machine using the enterprise storage
option. The machine hosts a 16TB disk array. The OS is to be installed on a
software raid set of smaller disks separate from the 16TB array. A couple of
questions:
(1) Is the enterprise storage option the right option? I'm not using any of
the FCoE, iSCSI, etc., options. Just plain hardware raid 5.
I don't know about any "enterprise storage option" so I'm not sure what
to say.
"Scalable Filesystem" is really just XFS support
(2) I'm having trouble with the graphical install. The network dialog is too
large for my screen and I cannot see the buttons at the bottom of the dialog
box. Is there a text-based install?

I suggest that you try to find some option to change the video
resolution. You really don't want to try text install.
Text install instructions are here
http://www.scientificlinux.org/distributions/6x/installing/install-guide-text-full.html
NOTES about text install
* You are unable to do customized partitions in text mode.
* You are unable to review and edit partitions in text mode.
* You are unable to put your boot loader anyplace special in text mode.
* You are unable to select packages and/or groups in text mode.
You only get a minimal install.
This is the way the installer comes from The Upstream Vendor.
