Jeremy said that the ks file needs to be local at this point, stage1 
grabs the ks file, but there is no stage1 with a cd install.

Is the network up at this point? If not.....

A work-around would be to script the grabbing of the ks file yourself 
and copying it /tmp. Use wget for a http/ftp source or maybe mount the 
nfs server and copy over the ks file.

Then use something like this:
liveinst --text ks=/tmp/ks.cfg
