Oh, I thought what you wanted was to have kickstart be default, without
you having to type "ks=cdrom" or anything...

When booting form USB sticks, I was simply using "linux
ks=hd:sdN:/ks.cfg" or something similar (with N being whatever was
assigned by kernel to the stick, usually "0" if there were no SCSI/SATA
devices in the system)... I believe that Anaconda is supposed to load
USB device drivers before attempting to access kickstart file. You
might check this link for various options on telling Anaconda where the
kickstart file is:
