CentOS PXE install over Syslinux?

Greetings!
I found on Habré such a simple instruction for installing CentOS via the Internet:


Step 1: syslinux
Step 2: mirror.yandex.ru/centos/7/os/x86_64/images/pxeboot

I have a bootable flash drive (Jinn'sLiveUSB 8.4.1) that uses Syslinux 4.06 as the bootloader. Further on the Toaster I found a similar discussion and, in accordance with it, wrote the following in syslinux.cfg:
PROMPT 0
DEFAULT CentOS
LABEL CentOS 7
kernel /JINN/data/centos/vmlinuz
append initrd=/JINN/data/centos/initrd.img method=mirror.yandex.ru/centos/7.5.1804/os/x86_64 devfs=nomount
ksdevice=link

vmlinuz is loaded, initrd.img too. Then comes the console movement and it ends with this:
...
random: crng init done
dracut-initqueue[706]: Warning: dracut-initqueue timeout - starting timeout script
...
dracut-initqueue[706]: Warning: dracut-initqueue timeout - starting timeout script
dracut-initqueue[706]: Warning: Could not boot.
dracut-initqueue[706]: Warning: /dev/root does not exist

Judging by the search, the problem usually concerns a local installation, but my task is to pull it out via the WEB.
By the way, the indicators on the LAN interface do not light up, i.e. it seems that nothing is being dragged from the Internet, although it seems like I specify ksdevice=link in the config .
Tell me, please, how to fix this?
Thank you!
