There are two possibilities:

1.  Use a network based installation.

2.  Rebuild anaconda with a patch found here:
http://rau.homedns.org/twiki/bin/view/Anaconda/PatchesForAnaconda

Under Other Patches, click on kickstart-network-prompt.patch.  Patch
anaconda, rebuild the discs and reburn them (instructions for this are
also included in this document).

I don't think that I have to tell you which one is going to be easier
(at least from my point of view) ;o)
