F9 NFS install fails

I'm trying to install F9 on a machine that doesn't have a DVD drive.  I
burned the boot.iso and boot from that.

I mount the install DVD on another machine and NFS export it.  I can
mount the exported directory on another machine (and even that machine
booted with its current F7).

I boot for the boot ISO and select NFS install.  I assign the IPv4
address, netmask, gateway, and nameserver as they are defined for other
machines on the LAN and specify the IP address and directory of the NFS
serving machine.  IPv6 is disabled.

But the installer is always unable to mount the NFS volume.

Is there something I'm missing?

TIA.
