I had exactly the same problem. The instructions for "NFS Installation 
and Setup" are apparently incomplete. If you look at the instructions 
for "Installation from a Hard Drive", however

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f10/en_US/sn-installing-from-harddrive.html

they say that "the install.img file from within the ISO files must be 
copied to a directory named 'images'" inside the directory with the ISO 
files. I tried that, and the installation proceeded. (And that's with an 
NFS server running OpenSolaris.) I'm using separate CD-ROM ISOs btw, not 
the DVD ISO.

(Unfortunately, when I tried to boot the newly installed system, I got 
the following message: "Kernel panic - not syncing". I don't know what 
that's about.)
