Alter the syslinux.conf file

Your origin file looks like that:

default linux

prompt 1

timeout 72

display boot.msg

F1 boot.msg

F2 general.msg

F3 expert.msg

F4 rescue.msg

F5 kickit.msg

F6 param.msg

label linux
kernel vmlinuz

append ramdisk=32000 initrd=network.rdz mdkinst network
label expert
kernel vmlinuz

append expert ramdisk=32000 initrd=network.rdz mdkinst network
label ks
kernel vmlinuz

append ks ramdisk=32000 initrd=network.rdz mdkinst network
label rescue
kernel vmlinuz

append rescue root=/dev/fd0 load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=1
You can then suppress three of the four boot modes (keep ks) and change default to ks. The timeout line is then useless. You will also need to add a parameter to the append line: kickstart=floppy.

Your file will then look like:

default ks

prompt 1

display boot.msg

F1 boot.msg

F2 general.msg

F3 expert.msg

F4 rescue.msg

F5 kickit.msg

F6 param.msg

label ks

kernel vmlinuz

append ks kickstart=floppy ramdisk=32000 initrd=network.rdz mdkinst network
