The correct boot option seems to need a device name, e.g.

   ks=cdrom:/dev/sr0:/ks.cfg

and now it works.  This appearantly is listed wrong in

   http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Kickstart#Boot_CD-ROM

but I found the correct answer in

   http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda_Boot_Options#ks

Maybe someone can update the wrong info.
