Problem with (net) Red Hat Linux 6.1 kickstart.                14.03.2000

I have created a NETWORK boot diskette with the bootnet.img from the CD
boot: linux ks  
Loading initrd.img....
Loading vmlinuz...

I have also used the bootnet-RHEA-1999:044.img.

In both cases, I get the message:
Error opening kickstart file /tmp/ks.cfg: No such file or directory
(NOTE! The ks.cfg file is on the DHCP server not on the diskette) 

If I use the Red Hat Linux 6.0 kickstart, everything works fine. The 
machine to be installed with linux (ultra2) sends a BOOTREQUEST, the 
DHCP server (pc2) sends a BOOTREPLY and the ks.cfg file, /mnt/cdrom is
mounted and the installation starts and is completed without problems.  

>From the DHCP server log file: 
Mar 14 14:01:36 pc2 dhcpd: BOOTREQUEST from 00:00:b4:ab:1b:20 via eth0
Mar 14 14:01:36 pc2 dhcpd: BOOTREPLY for 130.225.76.230 to ultra2 (00:00:b4:ab:1
