Multiple ks.cfg o a cdrom

Hi,

  I am using a RedHat AS 2.1.

  I would like to use several ks.cfg to boot :

syslinux.cfg:
...
label auto
   kernel vmlinuz
   append ks=hd:hdc:/ks.cfg initrd=initrd.img lang= devfs=nomount 
ramdisk_size=7168 vga=788
label int
   kernel vmlinuz
   append ks=hd:hdc:/ks-int.cfg initrd=initrd.img lang= devfs=nomount 
ramdisk_size=7168 vga=788
...


When I choose "int" label in the boot.msg menu, ks.cfg is run by 
default. (ks-int.cfg is the same file as ks.cfg, but with "interactive")
Same result when booting with this command line :
  text ks=hd:hdc:/ks-int.cfg

These files are in the initrd's /tmp of the images/boot.img directory.

Is it possible to choose which ks.cfg I can load ? Else, how can I do to 
choose if my installation will be interactive or not ?


Other question :

  Is it possible to put ks.cfg and ks-int.cfg in a directory on the 
cdrom, for exemple "ADDONS" ? I tried several times with something like :
label auto
   kernel vmlinuz
   append ks=hd:hdc:/ADDONS/ks.cfg initrd=initrd.img lang= devfs=nomount 
ramdisk_size=7168 vga=788

but this doesn't work. I tried other paths but the cdrom looks 
unavailable when being in the initrd boot sequence. I would like to put 
them on the cdrom "root" to modify them easily. Should i try to mount 
the cdrom inside the initrd ? (not really sexy).

Thanks for help
