PXE Booted kickstart ESXi install still prompts to press "Enter"

Hi,

I'm working on a FULLY automated PXE boot configuration with a kick start script.  The problem I'm having is just after initial installation the installer asks for the user to press the ENTER key.  And it just sits there waiting for the input, making my fully automated PXE dream just a dream.  Has anyone figured out if there is flag I can put in the Kick Start script to make the install not prompt me after install?
