Subject: Appending options with pxeboot command

Hi Folks,
I was wondering if there is way I can append ksdevice options when I
execute pxeboot command. I am currently executing pxeboot command with
below options,
pxeboot -a -K nfs:<IP>:<location of ks config file> -O <OS version
label> -s ttyS0,9600 <Linux Client hostname>
I am looking to append ksdevice=<network instance number>.
 
The way i have done this in the past is to quote it in with the -K
option which should deliver what you want, there doesn't appear to be
any validation of the input so it will put everything between the quotes
straight in.
.
ie: pxeboot -K "nfs:foo ksdevice=eth0" etc....
