Adding a KickStart File to FC3 CDROM....

Anyone got a suggestion as to where and how to add a recognizable 
Kickstart file to the FC3 Anaconda install boot? I want to add it to the 
CD, not an external source.... Mostly I am interested in doing some 
configuration during "%Post" - but so far I havent been able to get 
Anaconda to run the ks file. I know I need to modify the isolinux.conf 
and then where does the file go- initrd.img or the top level directory 
of the cd?
ks=cdrom:/ks.cfg doesnt seem to work.....
Also,  if I want to find another file on the CD what is the prefix?  
/media/cdrom or the more traditional /mnt/cdrom?
 I have been browsing the lists and find lots of potential suggestions, 
but nothing definitive..... Most "howto's" talk about boot.img (rather 
dated I believe....)
Yes, I know I could keep doing builds and installs until I find the 
right combo, but I am hoping someone can save me some time...
Someone want to volunteer how they do it?

TIA
