AFAIK there is no way to specify an arbitrary disk to install grub to in 
Kickstart.   I haven't tried this, but perhaps you can use the 
--driveorder option to get it sorted out. See:

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/sysadmin-guide/s1-kickstart2-options.html

Beyond that, I'd try --location partition (to install on first sector of 
/boot partition) or if that doesn't work set it to none and do the grub 
installation by hand during the post install script. It wouldn't be 
pretty, but it'd work.
