It got easier in 7.0 then the other responder knows :-) Put it on the CDROM, and use "ks=cdrom:/path/to/file/on/cd". If the file is foo.bar at the root of the cd, you'd use ks=cdrom:/foo.bar. The main Red Hat CD is already bootable on any system that supports bootable CDROMs. You can automate the kickstart by adding the argument to the file /images/boot.img on the CD (which is the floppy image the system boots from). Hope this helps.
