Thanks! I was using boot.img instead of bootnet.img. Thanks for the help!

Get the bootnet.img file and then change the syslinux.cfg file. That should work. Forrest P.S. Instead of ks=file, it should be ks=floppy (and put the ks.cfg file on the floppy). > -----Original Message----- > From: Rebecca.R.Hepper@xxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:Rebecca.R.Hepper@xxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Wednesday, June 13, 2001 8:52 AM > To: kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Problems Installing Via NFS > > > Hello All, > > I am having some problems installing via NFS. > > I believe my NFS server is set up correctly as I can mount > the exported > directory from other computers.
