As it says, name the kickstart file itself.  --initrd-inject=/iso/ks/foo.ks

Another way to do this (not necessarily better) is to build a small
ISO containing the kickstart using mkisofs / genisoimage.

I think (c) ignored.  In any case you should leave out --file-size
because it is inferred from the size of the partition.
