Kickstart & multiple ethernet cards

Hi All,

I've got an IBM 335 with 3 NIC cards. I've told kickstart to use eth0 to 
do the network install but I still get prompted as to which card to use.

Anyone have an idea of why the installer is prompting for which card to 
use for the network install?

Here's is some relevant info...

default-as3 (default pxelinux config file):
default linux
label linux
   kernel vmlinuz-as3
   append ksdev=eth0 load_ramdisk=1 initrd=initrd-rhas3.img 
ks=http://10.0.1.1/Profiles/

10.0.1.2-kickstart (kickstart profile):
# Web based install
install
url --url http://10.0.1.1/OS/RHAS/3/i386
...
# Network configs
network --device eth0 --bootproto static --ip 10.0.1.2 --netmask 
255.255.240.0 --gateway 10.0.1.1 --nameserver 10.0.1.1 --hostname test

I've googled but can't find much (bad search string, perhaps?).

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Harry
