You can go even further with:
ks=hd:<device>:/<file>
The installation program will mount the file system on <device>
(which must be vfat or ext2), and look for the kickstart
configuration file as <file> in that file system (for example,
ks=hd:sda3:/mydir/ks.cfg).
With this you can put ks.cfg file on same server.
Has anyone tried to mount ext3 partition this way?
