That is the way you set it up, I know. But I was wondering if there is any
difference between these two when kickstart runs. If there isn't any
difference why bothering to put ks.cfg in initrd.img.
If there is no added value to putting ks.cfg in initrd.img, I would say
always copy it on the floppy and use ks=floppy, because it is much easier.

ks=floppy means that you made the floppy the usual dd way, and then mounted
it and cp the ks.cfg onto the floppy
ks=file:/ means you opened the boot.img file, pulled apart the initrd.img
file and placed the ks.cfg inside.
