Don't mean to contradict you here, but if I understand your goal properly
(bootable, self-starting, cd-rom based kickstart installation) I believe
that the suggestion below will work for you.  The original suggestion here
is to first create a kickstart floppy (yes, we understand that you don't
want to use a floppy in the end, however it is needed to get you to your
goal of not having it).  Then once the floppy is working as you want it to,
then create a new CD image that uses the floppy that you have created as
it's boot image.

Hi,
Thank you for an early reply,
but the reply doesn't solve my problem..
My kickstart file will be on the cdrom and not on a
floppy.
and on boot it should automatically start installing
without any user input at the lilo prompt.

Waiting for an early reply...
