can't kickstart

[rosen]

hi,

trying to kickstart a red hat machine inside virtualbox.
host OS = solaris 10
vbox = 3.2.8
RH = 5.5 kernel 2.6.18-194.el5

the ethernet addr is in the dhcp server.
in VB, the enet is enabled, bridged. i've checked and that enet addr
matches the dhcp server.

if i install from a DVD, the os goes in and installs.
i can log in as root. from the console.
i can ping the installed new machine

what i want to do is install this machine from kickstart. but
i can't detect that it even tries to look for the kickstart file.
it jumps straight to the question about testing the CD media.

any advice on how to debug this? i can kickstart machines hosted
on a VMware-based machine -- that host OS is windows.

thanks.
j.

i __think__ i have the answer. it looks like the difference
is that, on the kickstart command, you MUST use
ksdevice=eth0

that seems to be the only difference between these two machines
but i cannot take the first machine down to retry right now.
