Thanks all for your comments. Unfortunately, I still do have it working. Previously, I was attempting to use a ks.cfg on the floppy. I tried to load the ks.cfg from the nfs server, but I get the error that it can't find file "/tmp/ks.cfg". Is it supposed to be in a /tmp dir under the nfs share or is this just something that it tries when it can't connect to the nfs server? I also tried switching to a basic linux nfs server (rather than connecting to the netapp directly). Still with the same results though. So to recap, I made the modification to syslinux.cfg to be: default kickstart prompt 1 timeout 2 label kickstart kernel vmlinuz append ks=nfs:192.168.1.90:/mnt/kickstart/ks.cfg initrd=initrd.img network The setup starts, prompts me for which ethernet card (eth0, eth1, eth2), I select eth0 then it tells me is can't find "/tmp/ks.cfg". By this time, it's already leased an IP and bound it to eth0 (I can ping it). Any more ideas? Should I switch to ftp?
