Hi Marc!
Thanks for the help.
This was actually one of the first things I tried and it did not work.
I managed to get it working now though, and what I had to do was to change
the path for the eject-command. It seems like Fedora, before running the
%post -part of the installation actually unmounts the temporary installation
system that is mounted and mounts the newly installed system.
Therefore, to make this work with Fedora 3 I added the following to the
%post part of the Kickstart-configuration:
echo "Ejecting CD"
mkdir /mnt/hda
mkdir /mnt/hdb
mkdir /mnt/hdc
mkdir /mnt/hdd
mknod /dev/hda b 3 0
mknod /dev/hdb b 3 64
mknod /dev/hdc b 22 0
mknod /dev/hdd b 22 64
echo '/dev/hda /mnt/hda iso9660,ro 0 0' >> /etc/fstab
echo '/dev/hdb /mnt/hdb iso9660,ro 0 0' >> /etc/fstab
echo '/dev/hdc /mnt/hdc iso9660,ro 0 0' >> /etc/fstab
echo '/dev/hdd /mnt/hdd iso9660,ro 0 0' >> /etc/fstab
/usr/bin/eject /dev/hda
/usr/bin/eject /dev/hdb
/usr/bin/eject /dev/hdc
/usr/bin/eject /dev/hdd
Thank you all for coming with tips!

I got this from the list a while back and has been working for me
with Enterprise 3. You could probably narrow down the devices,
but this just makes sure it hits everything.
hopefully its useful,
