How to get kickstart to use existing logical volumes?

I'm installing RHEL 3 EL on a server where I have already built the file
systems. Some of the file systems are on physical volumes and some are on
logical volumes. Apparently kickstart will not let me use the existing
logical volumes, or I haven't figured out the syntax to do so. Will
kickstart let me specify existing logical volumes? If so, how?
Had I build the file systems with kickstart, here's how it would have
looked:
clearpart -linux
part /boot --fstype ext3 --size 100 -ondisk sda
part swap --size 8196 --ondisk sda
part / --fstype ext3 --size 1 grow --ondisk sda
part pv.01 --size 1 --grow -ondisk sdb
volgroup vg01 pv.01
logvol /opt --vgname=vg01 --size=30720 --name=opt
logvol /var --vgname=vg01 --size=30720 --name=var
logvol /var/ftp/pub --vgname=vg01 --size=61440 --name=pub
Having built the file systems in advance, I tried this syntax:
clearpart --none
part /boot --onpart=sda2
part swap --onpart=sda3
part / --onpart=sda4
part /opt --onpart=/dev/vg01/opt
part /var --onpart=/dev/vg01/var
Part /var/ftp/pub --onpart=/dev/vg01/pub
The Kickstart failed, complaining about the /dev/vg01. It did not like plain
vg01 when I took off the /dev/. Any suggestions on what it might like?
Thanks.
