Everyone seems to be top-posting in this thread!

I've tried addding the following on the kernel line:
ks=hd:sdb1:/sl6.cfg ksdevice=
ks=hd:sdb1:/sl6.cfg ksdevice=''
ks=hd:sdb1:/sl6.cfg ksdevice=""
ks=hd:sdb1:/sl6.cfg ksdevice=eth0
ks=hd:sdb1:/sl6.cfg ksdevice=eth0 ip=10.0.0.1 netmask=255.255.255.0
gateway=10.0.0.2 dns=8.8.8.8
(where eth0 in the above line is a disconnected NIC and the settings
in the last line were to set up NM with them)

In all of these cases, I was prompted to choose a NIC.

Don't you have a DHCP server that could provide settings to ethX and just use:
ks=hd:sdb1:/sl6.cfg ksdevice=ethX
