network kickstart without dhcp server

Is it possible to have my kickstart file on an nfs mount, the installation
media on another nfs mount, and to use a statically defined ip address
defined with options at the boot prompt. For example
 boot> linux ks=nfs:1.2.3.4/my/ks <http://1.2.3.4/my/ks>
ip=9.9.9.9<http://9.9.9.9>gateway=
9.9.9.1 <http://9.9.9.1> netmask=255.255.255.0 <http://255.255.255.0>
 I'm not able to run a dhcp server in my environment so unless I can define
the networking info to my target machine at the boot prompt, it's not going
to be able to access the kickstart or installation files on the network.
