I am talking theory here but wouldn't it be possible to start of a
kickstart install without any floppy.
If you have a NIC that supports network booting from the NIC, shouldn't it
be possible to setup a DHCP server to tell the NIC where to 'tftp' a kernel
image and the kernel, being given the appropriate options, can boot and
mount the nfs tree read ks.cfg and starts the installation!!!!
Or is daily practice not as nice as theory looks.

Instead of putting it in the initrd.img, just put the ks.cfg file on the
bootnet.img floppy:
dd if=/mnt/cdrom/images/bootnet.img of=/dev/fd0
mount /mnt/floppy
cp <your kickstart file> /mnt/floppy
edit /mnt/floppy/syslinux.cfg
default ks
...
label ks
..
append ks=floppy console=ttyS0,9600n8 ...
You shouldn't need two floppies.
