Kickstart fails mounting nfs source

[Shabazian, Chip]

What version/update are you building from?
 
Can you access the nfs mount if installing manually (not doing ks on the
boot line)?

All:
 
I have some old HP DL140s that I need to install.  The NICs on these
servers do not support PXE therefore I have to boot from CDROM.  Once
booted I key in "ks" and the server obtains its network information from
DHCP but then immediately fails.  I see an error on the console"  mount:
bad file number".  When I hit F3 I see that the real error is "failed to
mount nfs source".  
 
Has anyone successfully kickstarted a server by using NFS instead of
PXE?
 
Thanks in advance.
