NFS mount failed

[Ryan Golhar]

Hi Martin,

1. I've set up the DHCP server with the filename "/kickstart/ks.cfg"
option
2. Set up the NFS server to share /kickstart
3. Created the kickstart file and put in /kickstart and copied the CDs
there too.
4. Booted a machine from the 1st CD and enter "linux ks"

It successfully obtains an IP address and location for obtaining the
kickstart file.  I can't tell from the output if actually got the
kickstart file...I thought it did.  Then it tries to mount /kickstart
and fails.  This is way I'm not sure it was able to get the kickstart
file or just knows about it from the DHCP reply.
