No NFS server? You've instructed Kickstart to fetch its config file fro
"ks=nfs:192.168.20.100:/tftpboot/fc2/ks.cfg", specifying an "nfs" server
(the other [network] option is http).

To quickly setup NFS, try this:
1. Add a line "/tftpboot	*(ro,async)" to /etc/exports
2. Start up the "portmap", "nfslock", and "nfs" services in order (e.g.
"service portmap start"), if they're not already running.
