<DIV><SPAN class=243335819-10082006><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have some old HP
DL140s that I need to install. The NICs on these servers do not support
PXE therefore I have to boot from CDROM. Once booted I key in "ks" and the
server obtains its network information from DHCP but then immediately
fails. I see an error on the console" mount: bad file number".
When I hit F3 I see that the real error is "failed to mount nfs source".

successfully kickstarted a server by using NFS instead of
PXE?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
