[CentOS] Kickstart problem.

I am trying to use kickstart for automated builds from a DVD. Some of
the machines have DVD's drives and some have CDRom drives only. With the
CDRom only machines I would like to plug in an external DVD drive via
USB and use this to kickstart.

The DVD only machines work correctly with a isolinux.cfg as

label test
  kernel vmlinuz
  append initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=8192 ks=cdrom:/test-ks.cfg

Machines with a internal CDRom drive and the external USB DVD do not
find the kickstart so I figure that I need to change the
ks=cdrom:/test-ks.cfg to something else.

I have tried the following with no success

label test2
  kernel vmlinuz
  append initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=8192 ks=cdrom1:/test-ks.cfg

To save me producing lots of coasters can anyone tell me what the
"ks=cdrom" should be changed to.

Thanks

Dean.
