IIRC the floppy should be mounted under /mnt/source (look at this directory
once kickstart has begun).  If it is, you should be able to copy files over
in the %post --nochroot environment:

%post --nochroot
cp /mnt/source/ssh-key /mnt/sysimage/root/.ssh/identity (the .ssh directory
must exist, of course).
