Install over NFS

[Jamie Bohr]

You may want to try the following command from a UNIX system to verify the
export is working:

/usr/sbin/showmount -e <host ip>

In your case the above should something like the following:

/nfs  10.10 ....

If not, verify NFS is running on the host you are try to export from. Also
you may want to shutoff the firewall (/sbin/service iptables stop) for
testing and try again.

Also, please clarify the command you are using to get to the nfs server,
such as

linux ks=nfs:<host>:/nfs/<somepath> ksdevice=eth0 ....
