Hi

Some obvious questions here if you are kick starting from a Web Server 
do you really want the install method to be CD Rom ?  And If so is a CD 
/ DVD in the system ?  And are you deliberately leaving the partitioning 
information commented out ?

It would probably be more helpful if you can tell us what errors 
Anaconda is displaying. 

Have nice day :)
