First, create a kickstart file (ks.cfg) using system-config-kickstart.
Next, create a new boot.iso and make sure that this file is included in
the root directory:
http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.1/Installation_Guide/s2-steps-make-cd.html
Change your script to create a VM that uses this boot.iso file as the
CDROM instead of the raw device. Boot from the ISO and Anaconda should
perform an install according to your kickstart instructions.
