Hi Corey - this is what works for me ...

--snip from ks.cfg--

%post
# need to run this because we turn off kudzu by default
# and it makes mounting cd easier
/usr/sbin/updfstab

# mount cdrom
mount /mnt/cdrom

#copy mysqld initscript across
cp /mnt/cdrom/Fedora/RPMS/extras/mysqld.init /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld

# unmount cdrom
umount /mnt/cdrom

--snip from ks.cfg--
