Actually I have tried lots of things. As far as I see, this is not as simple as a symlink. Anaconda C application find CDROM according to some info provided by kernel. Also, Anaconda stage1 has a very limited debug option. I have possibilities to recompile kernel with some options or run kickstart with some kernel arguments.
