How to kickstart from floppy?

still can't get the kickstart to partition automatically.
I get these errors just before the hardware probing

"/lib/kickseed/initrd-kickseed 109:    mountfloppy not found" 
"lib/kickseed/initrd-kickseed 124:    cannot open floppy/ks.cfg"

but the odd part is that the install does read the ks.cfg enough to get 
past all the screens up to the partitioning.

any ideas?
