That's not what you had in your first post; you must've just pasted a
CentOS kickstart file.

Regarding your kickstart file:

1) "firstboot --enable" is unlikely to work on debian/Ubuntu.

2) "network ..." will set the hostname to "kick seed" if you don't use
"--hostname=...".

3) You have to have a "user ..." line in order to create a user,
unless there's some way to inform kickstart to use an expert install
and to skip the creation of a regular user.

4) "rootpw ..." will enable root.

5) "nfs ..." shouldn't be pointing to your kickstart config.

Furthermore, you have to clarify whether the kernel line's "ks=..."
should be "ks=nfs:serverIP/nfs/ks/ks.cfg" or
"ks=nfs:serverIP/nfs/os/ks.cfg".
