I need to setup the new server (Supermicro X9SCL-F) there is no CD/DVD and I don't have any usb CD/DVD. So I decide to install CentOS via PXE.

I have installed and configured dhcp server. 

    host new-fs1 {
        option host-name "new-fs1.w3.lan";
        hardware ethernet 00:25:90:70:2D:02;
        fixed-address 192.168.207.75;
        next-server 192.168.210.1;
        filename "pxelinux.0";
    }


I have installed and configured tftp server. 

# cat /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default
default menu.c32
prompt 0
timeout 300
ONTIMEOUT local

MENU TITLE PXE Menu

label CentOS-6.2 x86_64
        MENU LABEL ^CentOS 6.2 x86_64
        KERNEL images/centos/x86_64/6.2/vmlinuz
        APPEND vga=788 initrd=images/centos/x86_64/6.2/initrd.img -- quiet


Then I select boot from PXE in the BIOS. All go fine. In the Installation Method I have selected URL and type
http://192.168.210.1:8080


But after I have created custom disk layout in the installer and press Next I got the following error
Unable to read package metadata. This may be due to a missing repodata directory. Please ensure that your install tree has been correctly generated.

Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: anaconda-CentOS-201112102333.x86_64. Please verify its path and try again


So my question is - where he tries to search this file (repomd.xml)?
