Can multiple kickstart files be added to cdrom

[Omer Faruk Sen]

Is it possible to embed more than one kickstart  that will match the
installation interface's MAC address. What I want is to use boot system
using virtual CD (using iLO) to install multiple systems but matching
kickstart conf file will be used with the matching MAC address.
