I have remote server without GUI support. How can I install `CentOS 7 there?

The CentOS 7 is mandatary and I can't switch to another OS or distribution.

I get following text at the end. I able to mount CD but I don't know what to do next. FreeBSD has bsdinstall which works in text mode. Debian can also be installed in text mode without any problems.

CentOS 7 has an option to install in text mode.

When you see install centos menu option press the tab key, add text to the end of any existing installer command line arguments and then press the return key.

This will tell the installer (Anaconda) to install the OS in text mode.

  Thank you, I've found that I used wrong initrd. I was able to install after replacing it with initrd for pxeboot. But how should I run the OS? Where can I download the kernel and initrd to run os in normal mode? I'm sorry for these noob questions.

In case you are directly connected to the console of your headless system, just add

console=ttyS0,115200n8

to the above mentioned boot command. This will redirect the output to the serial console (bear in mind, that 115200 is the console speed). So the complete line would be

linux text console=ttyS0,57600n8

for a console output with a speed of 57600 baud.

It must be the same speed as it is configured in your Putty session under serial speed. In case you are connecting to the console from a unix-like-system (Linux, BSD, OS X) it can be done with screen:

screen /dev/ttyS0 115200,cs8
