There is no current code to drive kickstarts from text mode. That's planned post-alpha, perhaps even post F18.
*** Bug 856728 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
There is now code pushed upstream that handles cmdline mode and text mode kickstarts. Please re-test when the next build becomes available.
The F18 Beta TC1 image should suffice. http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/18-Beta-TC1/
Better, but: 1. I use "text" option on boot command line and installed still asks me this: VNC Text mode provides a limited set of installation options. It does not allow you to specify your own partitioning layout or package selections. Would you like to use VNC mode instead? 1) Start VNC 2) Use text mode By pressing "2" installation continues and installs everything well.

Yes, that's how it worked before too. Text is limited, we de-emphasise it. We would rather people use the full featured graphical interface, which is available over VNC. What you're seeing here is not a bug.

I only want an fully automated install. Now I am simulating an headless PC, where I can't confirm VNC/text mode install. How I can run automated install, if I have to press 1 or 2 to continue?
You put "text" into the kickstart file you're using to automate the install.
