how to kickstart on rh9
 
hi guys
i have a problem with kickstart on redhat 9.
i try to make a flopy boot to achive the automation install of rh9. My procedure is as follows:

First i use the rawritewin in the first install disk of rh9 in windows to make a boot disk.and i choose the bootdisk.img(in rh9 there is no boot.img,so i use bootdisk.img) to make the boot disk.

second i change the first row of the file syslinux.cfg with following line
default linux ks=floppy

third i write a config file ks.cfg, which is as follows:

## Red Hat Kickstart installation script.
## Generated by KICKweb. kickstart.linugen.com
lang en_US
langsupport --default en_US en_US zh_CN.GB2312
network --bootproto static --ip 202.38.248.1 --netmask 255.255.255.0 --gateway 202.38.248.254 --nameserver 202.102.17.33
#i use disk installation
harddrive --partition /dev/hda9 --dir redhat9
keyboard "us"
# i wanna use patition of my disk
#the following lines i don't know whether i am right or wrong
part swap --size 517M --onpart hda5 --ondisk 1
part /linux --size 4730M --onpart hda6 --ondisk 1
install
mouse --device /dev/ttyS0 msintellips/2

lilo --linear --location mbr
rootpw allen
xconfig --depth 16 --resolution 1024x768 --defaultdesktop=KDE
%packages
@ KDE Workstation
%pre
echo " Welcome to my kickstart"


finally, i reboot and set the floppy as first boot device. And then the worse thing turns up. the boot said that there is wrong in loading files.
i don't get it. it's because my ks.cfg file is wrong or my procedure is not proper? pls help me.
or somebody will give me the proper instruction to kickstart on rh 9?
